	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.
		Johannes Kepler was the first to predict a transit of Venus in 1631, but no one observed it, because Kepler's predictions were not sufficiently accurate to predict the fact that the transit would not be visible in most of Europe.

	Transit of Venus from Jupiter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A transit of Venus across the Sun as seen from Jupiter takes place when the planet Venus passes directly between the Sun and Jupiter, obscuring a small part of the Sun's disc for an observer on Jupiter.
		The distance of Venus from Jupiter at inferior conjunction is approximately 4.5 AU, which would correspond to about 37 light-minutes.
		Since Jupiter has a very large radius, the parallax of Venus between Jupiter's center and its north or south pole would be about 22", which is about 6 times Venus's apparent angular diameter of 3.6", or about 5.6% of the Sun's angular diameter (about 6.5').

		The first observation of a transit of Venus was made by Jeremiah Horrocks from his home in Much Hoole, near Preston in England, on 4 December 1639 (November 24 under the Julian calendar then in use in England).
		The simultaneous occurrence of a transit of Mercury and a transit of Venus is currently impossible.

		Venus was known to ancient Babylonians around 1600 BC, and to the Mayan civilization (the Mayans developed a religious calendar based on Venus's motion) and must have been known long before in prehistoric times, given that it is the third brightest object in the sky after the Sun and Moon.
		Venus is brightest when approximately 25% of its disk is illuminated; this typically occurs 37 days both before (in the evening sky) and after (in the morning sky), its inferior conjunction.
		The previous pair of transits of Venus occurred in 1874 and 1882, and the current pair is in 2004 and 2012.

		This effect was described in detail by Mikhail Lomonosov who had observed it during the transit of 1761 and considered it as an evidence that Venus had a thick atmosphere; however somerecent studies assert that it is an optical effect.
		However, extremely precise measurement is needed: for example, the transit of Venus causes the Sun's lightto drop by a mere 0.001 magnitude, and the dimming produced bysmall extrasolar planets will be similarly tiny.
		Only 5 hours after the transit of Venus on June 4, 1769 there was a total solar eclipse, which was visible in Northern America, Europe and Northern Asia almost aspartial solar eclipse.

		Venus is retrograde six weeks of every 18 months (the least of all the planets), which means it passes between the Earth and the Sun at that interval.
		To the extent that the transit of Venus touches your life, much (not necessarily most, but possibly) of that influence is coming from what seems like outside you, that is, from the world.
		Jupiter in Virgo is offering you the opportunity to see, feel and experience life from the opposite viewpoint and, in a sense, to get into the body and soul of the people closest to you.

	Transit of Venus
		Though Halley died in 1742, which was 19 years before the 1761 transit of Venus, other scientists followed his suggestion and journeyed to the ends of the Earth to make the necessary observations.
		It was also during the 1761 transit of Venus that observers noticed something strange: a fuzzy halo of light surrounding the dark spot of Venus.
		Transits are still of interest to scientists today, because they can be used to find planets outside our solar system, also known as extrasolar planets, or exoplanets.

	NCAR Scientist to View Venus's Atmosphere during Transit, Search for Water Vapor on Distant Planet - News Release
		During next week's transit, Brown will apply the same technique to examine regions of the solar spectrum that are strongly absorbed as they pass through Venus's atmosphere between 65 and 85 kilometers (40 and 53 miles) altitude—a region above the planet's thick cloud layer.
		Mercury’s transits are visible every few years—its last trip was in November 1999—but whatever atmosphere it may have is far too thin to be observed.
		Brown's other collaborators in the Venus observations are Wolfgang Schmidt and Helmhold Schleicher, both of the Kiepenheuer Institute, and Roi Alonso Sobrino, a graduate student at the Astrophysics Institute of the Canary Islands.

		It was worth the risk, he figured, to observe a transit of Venus.

	Thomas Paine and the Transit of Venus
		The planet Venus is that which is called the evening star, an sometimes the morning star, as she happens to set after or rise before the Sun, which in either case is never more than three hours.
		The second world is Venus; she is fifty-seven million miles distant from the Sun, and consequently moves round in a circle much greater than that of Mercury.
		The fifth is Jupiter; he is distant from the Sun five hundred and fifty-seven million miles, and consequently moves round in a circle greater than Mars.

		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.

	A Transit Of Venus
		The silhouette belongs to the planet Venus, and it will make its solar transit, as the phenomenon is called, for the first time in more than 120 years -- long enough ago that no one now alive witnessed the previous event in 1882.
		In the years since the first Venusian transit was recorded -- in 1639 by two Englishmen, Jeremiah Horrocks, who died two years later at age 22, and William Crabtree -- only four more transits have occurred, but much has been learned about the second planet from the sun.
		We know, for example, that Venus is 7,521 miles (12,104 kilometers) in diameter, or nearly the size of Earth's 7,926 miles (12,756 km).
