	Transit of Earth from Jupiter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A transit of Earth across the Sun as seen from Jupiter takes place when the planet Earth passes directly between the Sun and Jupiter, obscuring a small part of the Sun's disc for an observer on Jupiter.
		In rare cases one of them transits and the other does not, such as on December 21, 2060, when there is a grazing transit for the Moon and a near-miss for the Earth.
		Since Jupiter has a very large radius, the parallax of Earth between Jupiter's center and its north or south pole would be about 23.5", which is about 5.5 times Earth's apparent angular diameter of 4.2", or about 6.0% of the Sun's angular diameter (about 6.5').

	Transit of Venus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A transit is similar to a solar eclipse by the Moon, but, although the diameter of Venus is almost 4 times that of the Moon, Venus appears much smaller because it is much further away from the Earth.
		Transits of Venus are rare and currently occur in a pattern that repeats every 243 years, with pairs of transits 8 years apart separated by long gaps of 121.5 years and 105.5 years.
		Transits occur when the two planets happen to be in conjunction at (or very near) the points where their orbital planes cross.

	Astronomical transit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A transit is the astronomical event that occurs when one celestial body appears to move across the face of another celestial body, as seen by an observer at some particular vantage point.
		A transit of Mars across Jupiter on 12 Sep 1170 was observed by the monk Gervase at Canterbury, and by Chinese astronomers.
		During a transit there are four "contacts", when the circumference of the small circle (small body disk) touches the circumference of the large circle (large body disk) at a single point.

	Transit of Earth from Mars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A transit of Earth across the Sun as seen from Mars takes place when the planet Earth passes directly between the Sun and Mars, obscuring a small part of the Sun's disc for an observer on Mars.
		Transits of Earth from Mars follow a 284-year cycle, occurring at intervals of 100.5, 79, 25.5, 79 years in either May or November.
		This cycle corresponds fairly closely to 151 Mars orbits, 284 Earth orbits, and 133 synodic periods, and is analogous to the cycle of transits of Venus from Earth, which follow a cycle of 243 years (121.5, 8, 105.5, 8).

	"Jupiter Moves into Evening Sky" -- skw9607
		Jupiter is located in the part of its orbit lying in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius, the same constellation where Sun is located in the middle of winter.
		Earth and the planet are at the points in their orbits where a plane passed down through Sun and Earth would also pass through Jupiter.
		Because the distance between Earth and Jupiter is at a minimum the planet appears brightest to us, -2.7 magnitudes, and has its largest apparent diameter, 47.1 seconds of arc, when viewed through a telescope or pair of binoculars.

	Atlantis Rising Issue 42 Astrology Article, Jupiter in Virgo, Sky Father Meets Earth Maiden
		Jupiter in Virgo combines the “worldly”god of the sky with the innocent earth maiden who holds the symbol of the harvest.
		Jupiter wants to expand his knowledge through “big experiences,” but it is through the powers of assimilation and synthesis that wisdom is gained.
		If Jupiter is the god of light and Virgo is the dark vessel of transformation, promising the harvest of the divine within, then from the loftiest perspective, Jupiter in Virgo has potential to shine light in dark places and plant seeds of wisdom which will bear fruit in their season.

	Rare Venus event puts it between Earth, sun
		Viewing this transit took on extra urgency for astronomers and the general public because the next transit would not occur until this year.
		If accurate measurements of the transit could be made at opposite ends of the Earth, astronomers could calculate the distance from the Earth to the Sun (and also the distance to each planet).
		This transit was continually reported in newspapers and sales for smoked glass (the "safer" method of observing the sun in 1882) skyrocketed.

		After transiting Jupiter, Venus will occult Jupiter's moonss Io at around 10:50 UTC and Europa between around 10:54 and 10:58 UTC.
		All of these times are as seen by a hypothetical observer at the center of the Earth; parallax would cause actual observed times to vary by a few minutes.

		Ganymede and Callisto, further out from Jupiter, are the size of Mercury but less than twice as dense as water; their interiors are probably about half ice and half rock, with mostly ice or frost surfaces which show distinct and interesting features.
		Jupiter has the strongest planetary magnetic field known; the resulting magnetosphere is a huge teardrop-shaped, plasma-filled cavity in the solar wind pointing away from the Sun.

		Pluto is a bit of an outlier, and generally considered a KBO or Kuiper Belt Object or TNO (Trans-Neptunian Object), referring to its probable origins outside the orbit of Neptune in a region where comets are thought to form.
		Unlike the inner planets, they are composed primarily of very light gasses dominated by molecular hydrogen (H2) and helium (He), with rich mixtures of a variety of hydrocarbon and nitrile molecules such as methane and ammonia.
		Focusing now just on Earth and its closest neighbors, we can compare just the three terrestrial planets, Venus, Earth, and Mars, and we find that, although they have many things in common as we just mentioned, they are also worlds apart in many equally important respects.

		Over the past ten years, over 150 extrasolar planets have been discovered orbiting nearby solar-like stars, and the recent discoveries of transiting "hot Jupiter" type planets such as HD 209458 b, OGLE TR56-b, and TrES-1 have added an additional element of excitement to the quest for alien solar systems.
		During December 2004 and early January 2005, we ran a worldwide campaign which indicated that the planets HD 37605b and HD 74156b are very unlikely to be transiting.
		Although transiting Jupiter-sized planets can be observed using ordinary commercial-grade telescopes and CCD detectors, a great deal of dedication and patience is required.
