Iits orbit brings it to a point directly between the Sun and the Earth, where it appears to us as a black dot moving across the bright disc of the Sun. This transit of Venus is rare, occurring in pairs eight years apart and then not for more than a hundred years; it has fascinated astronomers for centuries."--Introduction.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 523.92 Lo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.92 Lomb Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 523.92 Lo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
