Observation

The observation of Venus transit over the Sun disk started after accurate preparation. We observed then phenomenon on the shade since sunrise. First exterior contact was noticed at 7:21:12. Second contact - interior - succeeded at 7:38:29. Since first contact till second contact was clearly perspicuous the drop-effect of Venus shadow. During several hours long waiting we strived to register Venus trajectory. Third contact - interior - supervened at 13:03:31. Thereafter came round the drop-effect and at 13:22:49 there was the fourth Venus contact - exterior - and it was the last. The effigy itself on the shade wasn't so imposing, but the merit assuredly was. Unfortunately this phenomenon wasn't as popular as much less infrequent Sun eclipse. But there was quite big concernment about it. Furthermore the personal communications informed public about it, a lot of concerned people came to learn more about this content even at place of observation. This is assuredly a signal to future, that the popularization of astronomy can be very popular and favourite science.
