k Transit of Venus, 8th June 2004 Transit of Venus. Composite image of Venus black transiting the Sun on 8th June 2004. The images were taken from Waldenburg, Germany. The first image of Venus was taken at 0541 GMT, and the last at 1104 GMT. A transit occurs when Venus passes in front of the Sun as seen from Earth. This was the first transit since 1882. Venus is an Earthsized planet that orbits in between Earth and the Sun. It does not appear to cross the Suns disc during every orbit as the orbital paths of the Earth and Venus are not in exactly the same plane. Venus transits occur in pairs separated by eight years, with alternating intervals of 121.5 and 104.5 years in between pairs. Stock Photo - Afloimages
