Scientific paper

A transit of the planet Venus across the brilliant face of the Sun is one of the rarest of all astronomical phenomena. Such transits occur in pairs just eight years apart, but following the second transit of a pair, the next will not occur again for more than a century. Transits of Venus can only occur in June or December, and just five such events have been observed since the invention of the telescope.
