Venus Transit

During a transit of Venus, Venus passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, and Venus appears as a small, dark dot crossing the bright disk of the Sun. Transits of Venus are very rare - two transits of Venus occur every 125 years. Transits of Venus occurred on June 8, 2004 and is due again on June 6, 2012. A transit of Venus lasts from 3 to 7 hours; the exact time depends on the path taken across the Sun. 

Viewing a Transit

To be able to view a transit, binoculars or telescope is necessary as the black disk of the planet silhouetted against the Sun will be very small. For safety it is suggested the image of the Sun be projected onto a white card. Safe viewing methods must be used, either by projecting the image of the Sun onto a suitable screen, or by using a suitable, specially designed, solar filter in front of the telescope. Any attempt to view the Sun directly could result in instant blindness. It is not safe to use a filter at the eyepiece as the focussed heat from the Sun could shatter it.

Conditions for a Transit

Transits of the two inner planets occur when the planet passes across the face of the Sun as seen from the Earth. Therefore transits can only occur when an inner planet is at inferior conjunction with the Sun, that is the conjunction at which the planet is between the Earth and Sun. However transits do not occur at each inferior conjunction - at most conjunctions the planet will pass either above or below the Sun.
