Transit of Venus

Children's Educational Center of Oradea, Romania

The 2012 transit of Venus, when the planet Venus appeared as a small, dark disk moving across the face of the Sun, is visible in the morning of 6 June 2012, in Oradea.  Transits of Venus are among the rarest of predictable celestial phenomena and occur in pairs, eight years apart, which are themselves separated by more than a century. The previous transit of Venus took place on 8 June 2004, and the next pair of transits will occur on 10–11 December 2117 and in December 2125.
Unfortunately, the sky wasn't clear on 6 June in Oradea.
