Armagh Observatory, 28 May 2004: A very rare astronomical event occurs during the morning of the 8th June this year, when the planet Venus crosses the face of the Sun. During the event, known as a 'transit of Venus', the Earth's 'sister' planet Venus will appear as a small black disc, about one thirtieth the diameter of the Sun.
