SDO 2012 Venus Transit - Path Sequence - Full Sun

Summary[edit]

Description
English: This image shows a sequence of photographs by NASA's SDO spacecraft, stitched together to show Venus's path across the face of the Sun. On June 5-6 2012, SDO is collecting images of one of the rarest predictable solar events: the transit of Venus across the face of the sun. This event happens in pairs eight years apart that are separated from each other by 105 or 121 years. The last transit was in 2004 and the next will not happen until 2117.
Deutsch: Dieses Bild zeigt eine Reihe von Fotos, aufgenommen von NASAs Solar Dynamics Observatory. Die Bilder wurden zusammengefügt, um den Weg der Venus vor der Sonne zu zeigen.
