The transit of Venus on 6 June 2012
Between 5 and 6 June 2012, and in less than seven hours, Venus will cross the northern hemisphere of the solar disc. The 'first contact' (I) and 'second contact' (II) will not be visible from Central Europe. If the weather is favourable, from Germany and Central Europe we can expect to see the last two hours of this event, including ‘third contact’ (III) and ‘fourth contact’ (IV).
