Observatory
[Comparison of Venus' path across the solar disc, as observed
from Denmark and from Australia. The position shift is due
to the difference of the line-of-sight. The path, as seen from
Australia, is shifted slightly
upwards relative to that seen from Denmark
because of the more southern geographical position of Australia.]

Venus Transit from Austria and South Africa

Verein Kuffner Sternwarte and Pretoria Center
of the Astronomical Society of South Africa
[Verein Kuffner-Sternwarte and Pretoria Center of the
Astronomical Society of South Africa have combined their two
Transit-Webcasts from Heldenplatz (Vienna, Austria) and Pretoria,
(South Africa) to show the Venus parallax in
3D. Webcast-image-series were aligned so that the
transit tracks are parallel. The individual images were shifted
and scaled so that the images of the Sun overlap, and finally the
parallax of Venus was aligned such that it is parallel to the eye's
parallax. The result is a 3D-anaglyph to be viewed with
red/cyan-goggles. N is appr. to the right, the left-right direction is
parallel to the line Vienna-Pretoria.]
