Measuring the Universe: from the transit of Venus to the edge of the cosmos

[David Morris]

There's an App!

New technologies, like the VenusTransit phone app, will allow
individuals to send their observations of the 2012 transit of Venus to
a global experiment to measure the size of the solar system. The free
phone app has been developed by Norbert Schmidt of DDQ in the
Netherlands. For more information, you can contact Steven van Roode:
