Venus Transit

The enclosed Venus Transit article published on 6th June, 2004 Sunday 2 days before Venus Transit occurred on 8th June 2004 in Vishalandra Telugu Newspaper Sunday magazine.  This is not my article. But i felt this telugu article on Venus Transit contain some good message about Venus Transit. Hence i scanned the article in the year 2004 and share it with other people from then onwards.

The next Transit of Venus will occur on June 5–6 in 2012, succeeding the previous Transit on June 8th 2004. After 2012, the next transits of Venus will be in December 2117 and December 2125.

 

A transit of Venus occurs when Venus passes directly between the sun and earth.  This alignment is rare, coming in pairs that are eight years apart but separated by over a century. 

The most recent transit of Venus was a thrilling sight in 2004.  After the June 2012 transit of Venus (the last one in your lifetime), the next such alignment occurs in 2117.
