Transit+of+Venus

=Venus is crossing the Sun on June 6th!!= This is the rarest predictable astronomical event. It happened in 2004, but it won't happen again until 2117! The passing of Venus across the Sun helped scientists and mathematicians to work out exactly how far it is between the Earth and Sun. We learnt that last term when we were studying energy... can you remember the number?

Here is Catherine's amazing diagram of Venus passing between Earth and the Sun.
