On the morning of June 6th, Venus is going to transit, i.e., the
planet is going to pass in front of Sun. The previous transit was in
July of 2004, but the next one will take about a century later. Venus
will start to transit around 1:10 (EEST; current time zone for Turkey)
in the morning, hence Sun and Venus will be below horizon at that
time. The transit will be in progress as the Sun rises, and will end
at about 7:50.
