"Every 17 years, a dozen states from Delaware to
Illinois are treated to a springtime emergence of the
Brood X (Magicicada septendecim) periodical cicadas.
The inch-and-one-half, red-eyed, winged, noisy but
harmless insects arrive in astronomical numbers. Year
2004 CE is the first since 797 CE that the two great
periodical phenomena, a Brood X emergence and a
transit of Venus, have occurred simultaneously. As
there were no telescopes around in 797 CE, this
photograph taken June 8, 2004 in Baltimore's Druid
Hill Park by astronomer Herman M. Heyn, shows THE
WORLD'S FIRST Brood X cicada ever to watch a transit
of Venus."
<grin> And where else but _Druid Hill_ Park should
this miracle of nature have occurred?
