	Transit of Venus - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		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 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.
		At the suggestion of Edmond Halley, the transit pair of 1761 and 1769 was used to try to determine the precise value of the astronomical unit using parallax.

	Astronomical transit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		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).

		The fractional change in brightness or transit depth is equal to the ratio of the area of the planet to the area of the star.
		Because grazing transits are not easily detected, those with a duration less than half of a central transit are ignored.
		Since a chord equal to half the diameter is at a distance of 0.866 of the radius from the center of a circle, the usable transits account for 86.6% of the total.

	Astronomical transit
		One example of a transit involves the motion of a planet beween a terrestrial observer and the Sun.
		On November 22 2065 at about 10:20 UTC, Venus near superior conjunction (with an angular diameter of 10.6") will transit in front of Jupiter (with an angular diameter of 30.9"); however, this will take place only 8° west of the Sun, and will therefore not be visible.
		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.

		As a result, Saturn leaves Pisces--sign of the savior who dies for everyone's sins--and enters the new-life sign of Aries on the day that Christ is reborn as a spiritual mutation who can show us a way.
		The most recent transit of Saturn through the domain of the red sign (March 1967-April 1969) also saw a cultural revolution that birthed a new era, and in China the adolescent upheaval was led by reactionary Red Guards reciting from Mao's little red book.
		During one of the earliest transits of Saturn through Aries (417-414 BCE), Polyclitus began the use of male athletes as sculpture models while vandals hacked the manhood off statues of Mercury as a political "dirty trick." Theater featured Aristophanes' "The Birds" in which sex is withheld by Athenian women as a war protest.

	Sun-Earth Day 2004 Venus Transit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The story of the Transit of Venus is one of Herculean efforts overcoming immense challenges and momentous scientific discoveries that shaped the very way we view ourselves and our place in the universe.
		The prediction of the passage (transit) of Venus across the face of the sun would be the key to deriving the distance to the sun, the "Astronomical Unit" or AU.
		With each successive transit, the AU was honed further until 1882 when observations of the planet Venus from different points on the Earth, as it crossed the disk of the sun yielded a sun-Earth distance (astronomical unit) of 92,702,000 miles.

	HUYGENS PROBE FACTS AND INFORMATION
		The signal strength received at Earth from ''Huygens'' was comparable to that from the ''Galileo'' probe (the atmospheric descent probe) as received by the VLA, and was therefore too weak to detect in real time because of the signal modulation by the (then) unknown telemetry.
		As ''Huygens'' is too small to transmit directly to Earth, it is designed to transmit the telemetry data obtained while descending through Titan's atmosphere to ''Cassini'' by radio, which would in turn relay it to Earth using its large 4-meter diameter main antenna.
		Doppler radio measurements of ''Huygens'' from Earth were made, though not as accurate as expected measurement that ''Cassini'' would have made; when added to accelerometer sensors on ''Huygens'' and VLBI tracking of the position of the Huygens probe from Earth, reasonably accurate wind speed and direction measurements can still be derived.

	Venus Transit Casts Earth Shadow :: Astrobiology Magazine :: Search for Life in the Universe
		Using data from NASA's SORCE satellite, scientists noticed that, when Venus came between the Earth and the sun on June 8, the other planet reduced the amount of sunlight reaching Earth by 0.1 percent.
		This Venus transit occurs when, from an earthly perspective, Venus crosses in front of the sun.
		"Because of its distance from Earth, Venus appeared to be about the size of a sunspot," said Gary Rottman, SORCE Principal Investigator and a scientist at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP), at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

	NASA's Cosmicopia -- Ask Us -- Earth and Moon
		The Earth is not a perfect sphere, so the distance to the center of the Earth varies from 6378 km (3963 miles) at the equator to 6357 km (3950 miles) at the poles.
		Since the Earth is revolving around the Sun, it actually has to rotate almost one degree (360 degrees/365.25 days) further until the Sun is in the same place in the sky, which is the definition of a day that everyone is used to.
		From The Nine Planets, the diameter of the Earth is 12,756 km, and the diameter of the Moon is 3,476 km.

	saturn by ben bova - book review for zone-sf.com
		Saturn continues Ben Bova's 'grand tour of the Solar system' but this episode is rather a letdown.
		As agnostic and atheistic types, they cannot prosper on Earth but neither do they know that this mission is intended to be an experiment in human societies and its chief administrator is an anthropologist.
		Instead the transit seems to be largely automated while the potential magnificence of space and the Solar system is largely left to the reader's imagination.

		When exchanging their photos, observers of the Venus Transit who were located at different sites were able to demonstrate the "parallax effect".

	Computing sun & moon transits by the International Space Station
		From the predicted time of the transit, and the moon's position in the sky (nearly overhead), one can infer that the moon should be nearly full that night.
		One way to look at it is to imagine that the transit track ran along the ridge line of a 57° steep, 900 ft high plateau; someone at the top of the plateau would be nearer the ISS, while making basically the same observation as a person at the base of the plateau.

	Astrological, Saturn, transit Leo, repairing Cancer, June, Maggie Kerr (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Our old friend Saturn takes between 29 to 30 years to circuit father Sun, so every 2.3 years or so he brings his enormous societal influence toward structuring and developing the next 30 year phase of the sign he is passing through.
		Saturn’s business is to “grow you up” as I say, or to force the reality of structure, order, discipline, responsibility, and the necessary commitment within us to bring about long term results.
		From July 2005 until September 2007 Saturn will transit Leo, during which phase we may begin to actually meet some true leaders with more Spiritual and humanistic goals and aspirations, who have been waiting to emerge from behind the scenes.

		Oddly enough, the short story was first published in the January 1971 issue of Playboy magazine.
		This is close to the modern value of 1/154 (many sources will cite somewhat different values, such as 1/193, because even a difference of only a couple of km in the values of Mars's polar and equatorial radii gives a considerably different result).
