When the dates indicate June 5, 2012, Venus will pass between our star, the sun and the Earth where we are located. solar eclipse had accomplished. However, this mini-eclipse did not eclipse the sky as it did when the moon came between the sun and Earth, because Venus closed off only 3 percent from the sun due to its distance from Earth.

While us ordinary people didn’t even know that such a natural event happened, scientists tried to collect as much images and data as possible, because Venus is just in time for the next ‘solar eclipse’. a period of 105 years there was. So probably none of the scientists observing the 2012 eclipse will see the next Venus-induced mini-eclipse.

Venus passes between the Sun and Earth twice in 8 years, but 95 years to the next expanse. ok how?

The black dot in the photo above is the silhouette of Venus passing in front of the sun. If you see how small Venus is next to the sun, this is: mini solar eclipse You better understand why we don’t notice when it happens. Venus is too far and too small to cast a shadow from Earth as it passes in front of the sun.

Venus will not come until 2117 . pass between the sun and the earth

As the planets orbit the sun in a circular orbit, they also oscillate up and down. For this reason, although Venus will continue to move between the Sun and Earth as it continues to orbit in its circular orbit, its entire shadow on Earth will be quite special occurs.

As we mentioned above, Venus last passed between the Sun and Earth on June 5, 2012. The date scientists shared for the next transit Dec 10-11 2117† The estimated date for the next intersection is December 8, 2125. Hold on; Why is there only 8 years between the next intersection and the next intersection?

Between two transitions is 8 years and then 105 years.

As we mentioned above, planets perform their circular motions in an oscillating manner. Interestingly, the mini-solar eclipse of Venus is the result of this oscillating motion. 2 times in 8 years but the third eclipse occurs 105 years later. After this 105-year hiatus, another intersection occurs 8 years later and no 105 follows. Scientists can predict exactly when the intersections will happen years in advance by transferring Venus’ motions around the sun into computer simulations.

We have to wait 95 years for new photos. Who knows, when that date comes, we’ll have a spacecraft both on the face of Venus and next to the sun, and it could provide us with many more unique images.

June 6, 2012 The video below, dated July 9, is a compilation of images captured exactly 10 years ago when Venus passed in front of the sun. Let’s say the reason the sun has different colors in different images is that scientists captured the event in different types of light for different studies.
