2004 AND 2012 TRANSITS OF VENUS

"Transits of Venus across the disk of the Sun
are among the rarest of planetary alignments.
Indeed, only six such events have occurred since
the invention of the telescope (1631, 1639, 1761,
1769, 1874 and 1882). The next two transits of
Venus will occur on 2004 June 08 and 2012 June 06..."
