This event has not been seen since the last tran- sits occurred in 1882 and 1874. According to the Venus Tran- sit 2004 India Expedition web site, a transit of Venus is one of the rarest of planetary align- ments. This phenomenon oc- curs when Venus passes direct- ly in front of the sun (similar to a solar eclipse). Unlike the solar eclipse, however, where the moon passes across and covers much of the sun, Venus appears as a small dot moving across its face. Only Mercury and Venus, planets between the earth and the sun, can tran- sit and there have been only six Venus transits since the in- vention of the telescope. The observers will be webcasting the observations live from Del- hi and will be posting images on the Goddard Space Flight Center’s web site. The Wilkes-Barre campus Friedman Observatory will be open at sunrise on June 8 to view and photograph the tran- sit.For more information, call 675-9149 or visit www.wb.psu.edu/observatory and click on Venus Transit.
