Elektra's Birthday Present


This is Elektra, who is 11 years old, and the youngest member of our astronomy club.  She is so smart that it's not even funny!  She and her mom love astronomy and are learning a lot quickly.    Elektra has already said she wants to do a talk at the club, and is working on putting together a slideshow.  When I was 11 years old, there is not a chance that I would stand up in front of a room and give a talk!  Anyhow, her birthday was last week, so as a surprise I decided to make a print of a photograph that I took of the Sun, with the planet Venus seen crossing the Sun's disk.  She was thrilled by the surprise, can you tell?
