    The transit of Venus was observed on 8. July 2004, after 122 years. Among millions of observers there were also reasearch workers of our secondary school.Whereas the eclipse of the Moon stay two or three minutes, the transit of Venus lasts six hours. Venus is a small moving point of the Sun disk. The Venus - Earth distance is forty three millions of km. It can be observed again in 8 years from Asia and the Pacific, not from the Czech Republic. Most of the Europeans will possibly never see this phenomenon again. For us it was a unique proposition.
