	Astronomical transit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One example of a transit involves the motion of a planet between a terrestrial observer and the Sun.
		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 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 the rarest of all predictable astronomical phenomena and currently occur in a pattern that repeats every 243 years, with pairs of transits eight years apart separated by long gaps of 121.5 years and 105.5 years.
		Horrocks corrected Kepler's calculation for the orbit of Venus and realised that transits of Venus would occur in pairs 8 years apart, and so predicted the transit in 1639, although he was uncertain of the exact time.

	Venus (planet)
		Venus has an atmosphere consisting mainly of carbon dioxide and a small amount of nitrogen, with a pressure at the surface about 90 times that of Earth (a pressure equivalent to a depth of 1 kilometer under Earth's ocean).
		Transits of Venus, when the planet crosses directly between the Earth and the Sun' visible disc, are rare astronomical events.
		A transit in 1761 observed by Mikhail Lomonosov provided the first evidence that Venus had an atmosphere, and the 19th century observations of parallax during its transits allowed the distance between the Earth and Sun to be accurately calculated for the first time.

	What is the Transit of Venus? (Transit of Venus March, The Library of Congress Presents: Music, Theater and Dance)
		Since the transit of Venus was first predicted and sighted by the English astronomer Jeremiah Horrocks in 1639, its subsequent appearances in 1761, 1769, 1874, and 1882 were met with increasing scientific and public fanfare and curiosity.
		Although newspaper accounts of the 1761 and 1769 transits were sketchy at best, by 1874 and 1882, increasing attention was given to all the efforts of those involved in the observation and study of the transits: their labors, their measurements, and in a few instances, their dramatic failures.
		The 1882 transit served also as the inspiration for a poem by Oliver Wendal Holmes (1809-1894), "The Flaneur: Boston Common, During the Transit of Venus"; cover art for the much-read Harper's Weekly (April 28, 1883); and one of the earliest marches by the young military band conductor John Philip Sousa entitled "Transit of Venus March."

		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.

	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 sixth world is Saturn; he is distant from the Sun seven hundred and sixty-three million miles, and consequently moves round in a circle that surrounds the circles, or orbits, of all the other worlds or planets.

		If you choose to watch the transit yourself and you are in Australia, keep in mind you will only be able to see it until sunset (about a quarter to half of the complete transit, depending on where you live).
		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.

		The transit of Saturn is generally unfavourable in respect of the house (from the radical ascendant) he transits unless he be transiting his own house or unless he be the lord of the ascendant.

		Saturn is the planet of death and delay and so he spoils matters by prolonging issues or keeping them pending and by procrastination.
