Hey guys, I just wanted to know what everyone's up too for the June 8th eclipse of Venus...(and inform anyone who doesn't know)
Click the graphic to enlarge.selfAdjoint said:Since a transit only lasts like half an hour, and it will be visible in Athens, I presume it will not be visible in the New World at all. Corrections?
i hate to be picky but is the phrase 'eclipse of venus' correct?- fbsthreads
Math Is Hard said:I've heard that there are places we can watch the eclipse on the internet. Any recomendations?
Xaxerian said:Can the eclipse be sighted from any place in Earth, like South Asia, or merely in the Americas?
The June 8th eclipse of Venus is a rare astronomical event in which the planet Venus passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, creating a silhouette effect.
The eclipse will occur on June 8th, 2023 and will be visible from the eastern hemisphere, including parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.
The June 8th eclipse of Venus occurs approximately once every 121 years, making it a very rare event to witness.
No, it is not safe to look directly at the eclipse without proper eye protection. The intense sunlight can damage your eyes. It is recommended to use special solar filters or to view the eclipse indirectly through a pinhole projector.
Scientists can use the eclipse to study the atmosphere and surface of Venus, as well as to gather data on the planet's size, shape, and position in its orbit. This can help us better understand the dynamics of our solar system and how planets evolve over time.
