Transmission Spectroscopy Along the #TransitOfVenus - A Proxy for Exoplanets Atmospheric Characterization: https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4433/15/12/1431 -> A rare Venus solar transit helps unravel atmospheres outside the Solar System: https://divulgacao.iastro.pt/en/2024/12/05/transit-venus-exoatmospheres/ - a team led by the Institute of Astrophysics and Space Sciences (IA) analysed data from this century’s last Venus solar transit and validated methods to study the atmosphere of Earth-sized exoworlds.

For the #Spacetober day 15 prompt celestial event: the Transit of Venus.

Much like a solar eclipse, when our moon's orbit brings it between the Earth and sun, the transit of Venus occurs when the planet Venus passes directly between the sun and us (or any other planet) partially obscuring or occulting the disk of the sun. Venus is much larger than our moon, 🧵1/n

For the #Spacetober prompt planets, a few planet linocuts I have yet to share this month: Mars, Mercury & the Transit of Venus.

The first image is before the swirl abstract and the second is with #Venus as a black dot on the sun. On June 5, 2012 the world was treated to one of the rarest sights in astronomy, the #TransitofVenus which was an #astronomical #phenomena.Venus passes directly between the #sun and earth and in the second image you can see the little black dot near top right of the sun which is Venus.
