This unique game of giants takes a place four times in 243 years. First, there are two transits in
December in interval of 8 years. About 121,5 years later, there are two transits of Venus in July
in the same interval. After 105,5 years the phenomenon will repeat.Among other observers, it
were also the students of pavel Køížkovský high school who observed this phenomenon, which
will repeat in next 113,5 years (in 2117) in the Czech republic.
This year the conditions were very good, nearly perfect. Apart from Europe, this phenomenon
could be observed in Africa and the Middle East. We had the possibility to observe this spectacle since the early morning. In the past this observing was of great importance for astronomy. Thanks to this observing is possible to measure the distance between the planets of our Sun system and the
