The Transit of Venus in 2004
When Venus passes directly between the earth and the sun, we see the distant planet as a small dot gliding slowly across the face of the sun. Historically, this rare alignment is how we measured the size of our solar system. June 6th will be the last transit of Venus to occur in our lifetime. Astronomy Ireland, in association with Project Travel, has put together a wonderful 6 night tour to the city of Beijing where you have the chance to see the Transit of Venus across the Sun for 6.5 hours. You will also get to experience the amazing history and culture of the stunning city throughout your holiday.
