• And the American Transit of Venus Expeditions of 1874 and 1882 From Steven J. ...
• William Harkness, 1882 1 Twice during the last third of the nineteenth century the planet Venus passed in front of the Sun as seen from the Earth, a very rare event causing considerable excitement in the astronomical world. Unlike Hall's discovery of the moons of Mars in 1877, the passage of Venus across the face of the Sun in 1874 and 1882 had been long predicted, and eagerly awaited since the last pair in the mid-eighteenth century, when astronomy (especially in America) was indeed in a different age. The reason for the excitement was not simply the unusual spectacle of the silhouetted ball of Venus moving across the Sun; the timing and position of Venus as it moved across the Sun was linked to one of the great unsolved problems in the history of astronomy - the accurate determination of the distance of the Sun from the Earth, and thus the scale of the solar system. Accurate time and position were well-known specialties of the Naval Observatory, and when in 1874 and 1882 many nations of the world dispatched expeditions to observe the transits of Venus, the Naval Observatory naturally became deeply involved in leading the observations in the name of American science. ...
• We shall see that while it was Newcomb who initiated interest in the transit of Venus in the United States, it was Harkness who carried through with the difficult analysis of the observations and produced the final result - long after Newcomb had given up on the method. ...
• COMMISSION ON THE TRANSIT OF VENUS .
• Nevertheless, the solar parallax could be indirectly measured, at least crudely, via the parallaxes of Mars and Venus. Not only were Mars and Venus sometimes closer to the Earth than the Sun (therefore producing larger and more easily measurable parallaxes), their relatively small disks were much easier objects of parallax measurement than that of the bright Sun. ... ” The uncertainty was therefore very great, until the 18th century transits of Venus succeeded in measuring the parallax to an accuracy of several tenths of a second of arc, still an uncertainty of several million miles. ...
• We can therefore see exactly what was at stake in the 19th century transits of Venus, namely, reducing an uncertainty in the Earth-Sun distance (and thereby the scale of the entire solar system) by several million miles (Table 7. ... The transits of Venus afforded a method for determining the Earth-Sun distance by determining the relative parallaxes of Venus and the Sun, a measurement that could be best undertaken when the two were viewed together during a transit (Fig 7. ... The transit could be viewed in either of two ways: by precisely noting the times of contact between the limbs of Venus and the Sun, or by observing the position of Venus on the Sun's disk. ... 2), in which the limbs of Venus and the Sun appeared to cling together for several seconds, making accurate contact times impossible. Observing the position of Venus on the Sun's disk, however, offered more promise, with the additional benefit that the entire transit need not be observed. ... Moreover, this distance will be different as seen from different parts of the earth's surface at the same moment, owing to the effect of parallax; that is, different observers will see Venus projected on different parts of the sun's face. ... " In other words, the Sun was used as a reference against which to measure the parallax of Venus, from which the solar parallax could then be deduced. ...

• Daytime optical astronomy seems a subject uniquely devoid of objects: the Sun, Moon, Venus, the occasional comet, the exceptional bolide, and the odd supernova pretty much exhaust the list of potential targets. ...
• Venus? Yes. When Venus is bright and far from the Sun in a clear sky, you can observe this planet in broad daylight with the unaided eye. ...
• I've found that the best way to spot Venus in the daytime is to first note the angular distance between the Sun and Venus by observing Venus shortly after sunset. Then, the next day, find an observing site where the Sun is blocked from view (essential both for eye safety and to allow the iris to dilate and see Venus better against the sky). ...
• When you sweep past Venus, you'll know it. Even with my battered, poorly collimated, and cheap 6×30s, Venus is a brilliant speck of white against the blue sky. Once you've found Venus with binoculars, put the binoculars down and observe that area of sky with the naked eye. If the sky is perfectly clear your eye has no reference to focus upon so if you've learned the trick of consciously focusing your eyes, changing the focus may help Venus pop out from the sky. ...
• Another trick I use to spot Venus in the daytime sky with the naked eye is to focus on the horizon, then quickly look up to the area of sky where Venus shines---the eye tends to remain focused at infinity, and Venus is found more readily. ... If the Moon is visible in the daytime sky, I've found that observing it to focus the eye, then sweeping over to Venus also works well. ...
• The more transparent the sky, the more visible Venus will be; I've spotted Venus on afternoons with a very light haze, but anything more than that makes naked-eye observation extremely difficult, if not impossible. ...
• I find the sight of Venus shining forth from a brilliant blue mid-afternoon sky not only inherently beautiful (when else can you see a pinpoint of light piercing the daytime sky?), but rewarding to the observer in the sense that you're seeing a sight that billions of people could see if they bothered to look, but which only a very few people will ever observe in their lifetimes. ...

• Venus' rotation is somewhat unusual in that it is both very slow (243 Earth days per Venus day, slightly longer than Venus' year) and retrograde. In addition, the periods of Venus' rotation and of its orbit are synchronized such that it always presents the same face toward Earth when the two planets are at their closest approach. ... Venus is sometimes regarded as Earth's sister planet. ...
