Botticelli's "Birth of Venus" upside down, on a diagonal, across the sun, with eggshells

This was a response to the prompt "eggshell" from eb (see "ONION" for more description). We had waited to see the Transit of Venus which, when it came, was only a small dot across the surface of the sun, so I made a more substantial fantasy of a transit of Venus, using Botticelli, and the blue eggshells from chickens raised near here.
