Description
On June 8, 2004, the planet Venus moved across the face of the sun. This historic event was rare: the last Transit of Venus occurred 121 years earlier. On June 6, 2012, Venus will again transit the sun. In this book, scientists and historians write of the extraordinary impact these cosmic events have had on the exploration and colonisation of our own planet.
