Transits of Venus are only possible during early December and early June when Venus's orbital nodes pass across the Sun. If Venus reaches inferior conjunction at this time, a transit will occur. Transits show a clear pattern of recurrence at intervals of 8, 121.5, 8 and 105.5 years. The next pair of Venus transits occur over a century from now on 2117 Dec 11 and 2125 Dec 08.

hi Venus, how are you?
elusive > nice pics!! especially the first one, i like how it's not just a little black circle over a big white circle like most pictures (it would just have made me want to scratch the sun to remove it, i find that totally unimpressive unless you see the actual planet and not just the little black spot over the sun)... =)

Uzim, you should see that same image thru a telescope.
Quite mind boggling.
You kinda phase out when looking through it.
So desolate. So remote.
