So if the Venus transit is supposed to be visible from 05:13 to 05:33 Universal Time in Anchorage, am I correct in reading that as “subtract 9 hours to get the usual Universal time, then one more because we’re in Daylight Savings,” so the transit, if visible, should be visible from approximately 7:15 to 7:30 this evening (June 7th) my time?
