Para astronom bersiap-siap melihat transitnya planet Venus, fenomena yang sangat jarang terjadi untuk melihat planet ini lewat di depan Matahari dan bisa terlihat dari Bumi. Venus akan melakukan perlintasan ini pada 5-6 Juni — peristiwa ini baru akan terjadi lagi pada 2117.
Venus transits across the sun as seen over Hong Kong June 8, 2004. The transit of Venus, when the planet drifts across the face of the Sun as it travels between the Sun and the Earth, is so rare that no living being has ever witnessed the celestial event. Five transits of Venus have been recorded - the last occured in 1882. REUTERS/Bobby Yip REUTERS BY/SH
