	Transit of Venus from Mars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A transit of Venus across the Sun as seen from Mars takes place when the planet Venus passes directly between the Sun and Mars, obscuring a small part of the Sun's disc for an observer on Mars.
		Transits of Venus from Mars occur much more often than transits of Earth from Mars, and also much more often than transits of Venus from Earth.
		The inclination of Venus' orbit with respect to Mars' ecliptic is 1.94°, which is less than its value of 3.39° with respect to Earth's ecliptic.

		Allan Chapman, “The Transits of Venus”, Endeavour, 22 (1998), 148-151.
		However, no such satellite was seen during the transits of Venus in 1761, 1769, 1874 and 1882, although several observers searched diligently for a satellite near the disk of Venus as it crossed the solar disk.
		A transit of Mercury can only be seen with the aid of a telescope, but a transit of Venus should be visible to the naked eye when the sunlight is sufficiently tempered by thin clouds or dust or when the Sun is near to the horizon.

		These are: the first moment when Venus touches the Sun's disc, the moment when it is completely inside the disk, the moment when it makes contact with the other side of the disk on its way out, and the last moment of contact.
		The 1769 transit created quite a stir among the English, to the point where King George III (a keen astronomer himself) granted the Royal Society four thousand pounds towards an international expedition to observe and measure the 1769 transit of Venus.
		Glaciers on Mars far from its icy poles: Mars may look dry, but there's fresh evidence that the frigid desert planet is still periodically moving water on a global scale, say researchers.

		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 fourth world is Mars; he is distant from the Sun one hundred and thirty-four million miles, and consequently moves round in a circle greater than that of our earth.

	James Cook and the Transit of Venus
		It was worth the risk, he figured, to observe a transit of Venus.
		Cook and Green also observed the "fl drop effect." When Venus is near the limb of the sun--the critical moment for transit timing--the fl of space beyond the Sun's limb seems to reach in and touch the planet.

		Data regarding the transit of Venus were considered to be extremely important and thus the subject of international intrigue, treaties, and cooperation (even during times of war).
		The author tells the story of the pursuit of transits of Venus by scientists whose aim was to establish a precision measurement of the distance between the Earth and the Sun.
		Alas, Venus transits proved not to be the answer to the scale of the solar system (exact timing of transit events proved unreliable due to Venus's thick atmosphere), but the stories of the explorers who traveled to the corners of the earth in 1761, 1769, 1874 and 1882 are worth the price of the book.

	Universe Today - Venus Transit on June 8
		Venus begins to leave the Sun near the '5 o'clock' position at about 12.04 BST and the transit will be completely over around 12.24.
		Venus is large enough to be just visible to someone with normal eyesight without the help of binoculars or a telescope.
		In the 21st century, the main interest in the transits of Venus of 2004 and 2012 is their rarity as astronomical phenomena, the educational opportunities they present, and the sense of a link with important events in scientific and world history.

		Imagine two different people, one on each pole of the Earth, viewing the transit of Venus.
		The person on the South pole sees Venus follow a slightly higher path, one that’s shifted a little to the north.

	Venus Transit: Cycles of the Heart
		Venus retrogrades five times in one eight-year "retrograde series"--each retrograde occurs with every Earth-Venus alignment, and so they form in the same sequence that the pentagonal pattern is made (about seven astrological signs between each one).
		When Venus lies very close to one of its nodes (on the ecliptic) and when a new synodic cycle begins (when a Venus-Earth alignment occurs), the line of sight from Earth to Venus is such that we see Venus crossing the disc of the Sun.
		Thus, the Venus Transit creates a condition where the harmonizing and beneficent resonances of Venus are highly focused (emblazoned) upon the Earth--inspiring a new level of "intuitive awareness" to permeate Earth and spread in and through human consciousness.

		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.

		Venus' fl disk will appear to remain linked to the edge of the Sun for a moment, stretching into an apparent pear shape.
		The table shows two ingress times (when Venus touches the Sun's limb and then is fully in front of the Sun) and two egress times (when it begins and finishes leaving the disk).
		Some astronomers are interested in the transit as a way to hone skills for using the related celestial alignments for detecting planets passing in front of other stars and probing the atmospheres of those planets.

		And now in May '05, Venus is poised to cross the GM [galactic Meridian] again - this time in the same region as the 2004 Venus Transit thus plausibly making it more significant than the previous one on Dec. 29th.
		So Venus and the Sun returning to this sky region not only signifies 'completing the circle' (another key theme) but also their arrival at the antipodal positioning relative to the events of last December.
		Transits of Venus across the disk of the Sun are among the rarest of planetary alignments.

		Most people, when they think of a "planet", imagine a large roundish body with a rocky surface and an atmosphere, just the kind that cool science fiction stories are written about.
		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.
		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.

		By observing the transit of Venus, you can re-discover a number of physical quantities about Venus and its orbit in much the same manner as astronomers did in the 16th and 17th centuries.
		From these images, you should be able to detect the Venusian atmosphere, derive a distance to Venus as well as the Astronomical Unit (AU), calculate an orbital period for Venus, and derive a diameter for the planet.
		In some cases, such as detecting the Venusian atmosphere, all you have to do is look at an image from a single observatory.
