Transit of Venus - Wikipedia
9 Jan 2026 at 7:20pm
A transit of Venus takes place when Venus passes directly between the Sun and the Earth (or any other superior planet), becoming visible against (and hence obscuring a small portion of) the solar disk.

The following catalog contains predictions for every transit of Venus during the six thousand year interval 2000 BCE through 4000 CE. The information for each transit in the catalog is summarized as follows.

This phenomenon occurs when Venus is in inferior conjunction with the Sun, meaning it is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. The Transit of Venus is one of the rarest predictable astronomical events, with pairs of transits occurring eight years apart, followed by over a century of no transits.

Transits of Venus have long been useful to scientific research. In the 1700s, they helped us determine our distance to the Sun and gave us the first clue that Venus might have an atmosphere.

When Venus passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, this event is called a transit of Venus. Venus orbits the Sun at a smaller distance than does the Earth, so one might expect that Venus transits would occur often.

The Transit of Venus is a rare astronomical phenomenon in which the planet Venus passes across the face of the Sun. First observed by two English astronomers in 1639, it occurred only four more times before the current pair in 2004 and 2012.

A solar conjunction occurs as Venus' orbit carries it into alignment with the sun and Earth.

On some rare occasions, the alignment is close enough that Venus blocks out some of the light from the Sun, causing a Transit of Venus. There have only been seven transits of Venus since the telescope was invented in 1610.
