A pretty big astronomic event is about to take place. And the curious don't have to stay up all night to watch. Tomorrow at sunrise, stargazers will be able to watch Venus pass in front of the sun. This hasn't happened in over 120 years. John Gianforti is co-founder of the Astronomical Society of Northern New England. He says viewers in New Hampshire will have about a 2 1/2 hour window to see what no living person has ever seen before.
