Transit of Venus

Many years ago, astronomers would use the Transit of Venus to triangulate the distance from the Earth to the sun, otherwise known as the astronomical unit. In our increasingly connected high-speed world, it’s rare that we have the chance to observe a phenomenon that places our experiences in this universe not in terms of minutes, days, or years, but in the context of generations. This celestial event won’t occur again for 115 years, and except in the most exceptional of circumstances, will next be observed by a generation of children not yet born. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to be part of something that is truly once-in-a-lifetime.
