Transit of Venus across the face of the Sun, seen through clouds. This transit was viewed from North America on 5th June 2012. The planet Venus is seen as a small disc silhouetted against the Sun. Venus is a little smaller than the Earth, and was some 41 million kilometres from Earth at the time. Venus transits are among the rarest of predictable astronomical events, occurring in pairs separated by eight years, separated by over a century. The next transit will occur on 10th December 2117. | |
