On June 5 2012, SDO collected images of the rarest predictable solar
event--the transit of Venus across the face of the sun. This event happens in
pairs eight years apart that are separated from each other by 105 or 121
years. The last transit was in 2004 and the next will not happen until 2117.

Stunning

Agreed! Really stunning.

About 20 variations of stunning.

I can't help but think that the SDO could see a transit pretty much when it liked by repositioning. But still wow.
