The best view will be at about 6:30 PM Pacific Standard Time.

(14,860 posts)Using my handy eclipse viewing glasses, I've been looking every half-hour or so and I'm pretty sure I've seen a little dark speck in slightly different places moving left to right near the top of the sun. I can't see it consistently, but I'm pretty sure I've seen something.
On edit: I just looked at a transit simulator and while the last dark speck I saw was undoubtedly Venus, whatever I thought I saw earlier almost certainly wasn't.
