2012 Venus Transit

A transit of Venus is when Venus passes directly between the Earth and the Sun.

An astronomical transit is when one atronomical body can be viewed passing in front of another astronomical body from a vantage point on Earth.  We can view moons transiting Jupiter or other planets, and even watch transits of the space station across our own moon! On June 5, 2012 at sunset on the East Coast of North America the planet Venus will make its final transit across the face of the sun as seen from Earth until the year 2117.  This is an exciting astronomical event that kids will love to experience, especially if they are into space and science!
