Venus

Here is a once a life time opportunity to view a celestial spectacle. On June 6, the planet Venus will pass across the disc of the Sun. The event is known as the transit of Venus.


The transit of Venus occurs in pairs, separated by eight years. The first transit occurred on June 8, 2004 and the second of this pair will be on June 6. This pattern is repeated after periods of 105.5 and 121.5 years, he said.
