I watched the 2012 Transit of Venus in a park in Centralia, Washington via projection with my then 30-year-old refractor telescope. God, what a sight! I'd say it was second only to my seeing the 2017 solar eclipse in Grand Mound, Oregon as far as observing experiences go. It was partially cloudy that day but the sun broke through often enough to track the transit. The knowledge that this was a sight not to be seen again for over a century added to the experience; that the entire population of our planet born will be born and die between this and the transit in 2117. Occasional passersby stopped to look as well. A few days later I discovered this video on-line. Venus seems sooo alone in it.
These SDO and SOHO images are wonderful. We have learned more about our mother star in the past 20 years than we have in centuries of ground based solar observation. I witnessed this using my Solar scope. What an experience. One that won't happen again in my lifetime. Perhaps, If I have grand kids they too will be able to enjoy this spectacle in 2117. What a sight.
"It's an instrumentation effect called quantum efficiency hysteresis. It means that pixels of the detector become temporarily more sensitive after prolonged exposure to light, which increases the local brightness of the image and makes Venus look semi-transparent in this pictures. Not all types of CCDs are prone to this effect, but the ones that SDO uses are." Think of it how, if you had a window open on your PC for a long time, some of the pixels might get stuck on the display for a bit, creating an after-image.
Amazing! Venus is nearly the same size as earth, and our sun is but a tiny star compared to other stars out there. We're not even dust in the wind. We are so insignificant is humbling. Make the most of your live, Love and be Loved!!
What's really amazing is that Venus is an Earth size planet! And it's millions of miles away from the Sun as we see it crossing in front of it. And still, it's tiny compared to the Sun!!! That should bring the Sun's size into perspective!
105 years till the next transit of Venus... I'll be 119 years old but I doubt that I'll live that long. Imagine if you never got to see the next transit of Venus as if the Sun is swallowing Venus - Scary but Brilliant. This is one-in-a-lifetime thing! Love it!
When you heat chemical elements to high temperature, they emit specific wavelengths of light. Add those specific wavelengths together and you get pretty much the whole visible spectrum. By choosing to look at individual wavelengths though, you can study what is happening in various 'layers' of the outer Sun (because they are different temperatures). The one with the "hole" you noticed is called the Corona. You cant see it when looking at the entire visible spectrum (all colours) though.
for all the illiterates who dont believe such transit occurs, this one actually happens but not as fast of course as in the video. I witnessed the june 2012 transit of Venus thru the Sun when i came home from work i went to watch it outside and its my first time to see such incredible amazing once in a lifetime experience! :)
Yes you are right, i watched it in 2012. Actually, i planned and watched it. I woke up early morning at 5.30 AM Indian time. I used x-ray sheet to see it
@@jealousjoy the Venusian trajectory haven't done any movements since it's formation. maybe once or twice or maybe even thrice. Venus is pretty much very stable in terms of everything. it's volcanic activities, never-ending storms, non-stop resurfacing, it's clouds format, orbit, etc. so the distance hasn't changed.
@@sspeedd8809 bro i legit just woke up and see this pop up, stop speaking witchcraft and i never even said anything ab it moving just how the comment has been 8 years ago dumbass lmao
"Look it up." Yeah, sure. Let me go get my facts from the websites and UA-cam channels of deluded, paranoid ignoramuses. Y'know, the places *you* get your info?
For once, some actually pretty good music selection for such a mind-blowing vid! Amazing somebody pulled that off! :) No doubt this is an incredible demonstration of science and technology. Congrats to all involved and thanks for sharing it in public. I'm sure the UFO crowd has been scouring this vid too for hours on end, looking for any cover up by NASA, lol.
"Lol"?, yeah right. As any philosopher of science will admit, it is the method, not the subject matter that determines whether any given investigation is scientific. By the way, it didn't take me "hours on end" to spot a discrepancy...I spotted it immediately the moment that I happened to notice that I can see right through Venus. "It is much easier to fool someone than to convince them that they've been fooled." NASA gives us a cartoon and you fall sucker to it...hook, line, and sinker.
"You left me here like a chalk out line, on the sidewalk waiting for the rain, to wash awaaaaay. Was Awaaaaay." Just admit, you were waiting for that pun to be made
I just watched this again and, blanking the sound, I played over it the second movement of Bach's violin concerto in A Minor. It fitted perfectly. I wish I knew how to doctor the clip in order to play the Bach over it and see how many people thought that it worked.
Venus is 67 million miles from the sun and is the hottest planet in the solar system because it is permanently shrouded in clouds which trap greenhouse gases that superheat the surface to nearly 900 degrees Fahrenheit. Mercury is 35 million miles away and Earth is 93 million miles away.
To give you an example, Venus and the Earth are so small compared to the Sun that a solar flare (the little streaks of heat and fire that stick out and are visible here) are sometimes many times larger than both planets.
Because there is absolutely no sound in space* and people would get bored without some kind of audio. But of course, it can't be too interesting, or it'll take up to much of people's brains to listen and watch at the same time. It's a delicate balance. * except the roar of Tie Fighter engines, which are scientifically demonstrated to be audible in a vacuum.
With this movement the initiation of the final phases of the Mayan & Asian calendars began. In many ways I wish it wasn't true, but now as we wait for the full Lunar eclipse of the Sun, and the alignments with the center of our Galaxy, we are left only to reflect on that which was & that which may never be. God Bless all that read this, may you have lived a life worthy of its journey.
I waited for this event for years I had a subscription to sky&telescope, so I knew it was coming Then of course, the internet It was Raining All day on June 5th 2012 here 🤔😐😮😥 I am glad we can watch it on line 😁
During the ingress and egress of the transit of Venus, when Venus is near the edge of the solar disk, it is partially illuminated by sunlight and appears less bright compared to when it is fully within the solar disk. As a result, the contrast between Venus and the surrounding sky background is lower, making it more challenging for the CCD chip to accurately capture the image. In some cases, this lower contrast combined with the blooming effect of the CCD chip can result in the semi-transparency or transparency of Venus as observed in the footage. Essentially, the light from the Sun overwhelms the CCD chip, causing Venus to appear less distinct or partially transparent as it transitions across the solar disk.
Seriously, how fantastic is the solar system and the universe.... Makes me smile at how we live on this little blue dot (carl sagan), and how totally immense space is.... :-)
Dude your soo right, Sometimes I'm not sure what to believe with these people, I'm starting to doubt we really landed on the moon, and that we have rovers on Mars.
Actually, it's not scheduled to happen again until December 2117, so that's why it's such a big deal. If you missed it this time, you'll probably never see it happen again. As for the 'sky is falling' comments, such a concept is ridiculous.
My pleasure. If you are interested, I just took a look, and there appears to be a Coronal hole at the moment too. If you search in google for "SOHO live", then click on the NASA page that is at the top of the list, (you may need to click on "The Sun Now", depending which NASA page you go to). This shows live views of the Sun in different wavelengths.
Question (Not trying to insult either) But the sun isn't actually on fire? I think you gave a very good , uh description and i can't wait for the repost.
I'm not a flat earther and I know that the transit was real, but I'm genuinely curious why does it look like it's semi-transparent and you can see the Sun through it?
No; the "black drop" effect is the supposed moment of bleed when it seemed connected to the very edge, of the sun. There's also a big discrepancy between different layers with regard to latitudinal height; you have to go to Helioviewer and mess around with filters and such ..see, for yourself.
It's just quantum efficiency hysteresis - the CCD's response to light depends on previous exposures, the end effect of which is a bit of ghosting which is quite noticeable here because of the sudden and drastic change from "bright" pixels to "dark" pixels due to Venus. This occurs due to back side charge accumulation
Fire is a phenomenon that can only exist under certain conditions, and the sun does not have those conditions. That's like saying because a piece of iron is hot that means it's on fire, but metals for the most part, don't catch fire. Think of it like this, without the other gasses in the earth's atmosphere, methane would not be flammable. The elements of the sun are similar, they are so hot because of the massive energy released from the fusion reactions. Again, think metal. Hot but no fire.
True, but aluminum is flammable under certain conditions. Also you forgot to say that fire only comes from hydro-carbon bonds. Or atleast combustion, I get the two mixed up...
they happen in pairs that are 8 years apart. One happened in 2004, one in 2012. Next one is in 2117, then 2125. So the pairs are seperated by 100 years.
Sad to realize this happens next time when we are all dead. I wonder if UA-cam still exists then, and someone reads this comment. Greetings from beyond the grave :D it sure is hot in here and the fumes of sulphur are really putting my lungs into a test.
I agree...and I'm glad we are still here. However, please take a moment to review the following information. Please enter the following in the UA-cam Search area: "1 JAN 2013 UFO'S OVER SACRAMENTO CALIFORNIA ONE EXPLODES!" The truth is that this footage was shot on 12/20/2012. Additionally, you will most likely agree that it is a Meteor/Astroid coming directly towards Earth, that is why the gentleman mistakenly said it was a planet of some sort, because he couldn't distinguish a tail.
I was referring to this video" THIS VIDEO", not your personal experience in school kido. I never said that venus didn't pass in front of the sun.Take a better look at this video. Get a grip.
I hate people saying it was fake ..... don't you read the title? it says it was satellite images.... of course modified just because the sun's light is so destructive to the eye>:(
here is a question for everyone to think about. how long does it take for Venus to travel around the sun? "225 earth days" right? so why did it seem to take about (6 hours and 40 minutes) for venus to travel by my estimate 1/3 around the sun, from our prospective? not try to say it's a hoax or anything just would love a answer.
Why is it that the people who love stargazing live somewhere more brighter (as in City Light so you can't see most of the stars) and the people who don't live somewhere less brighter? Sad...
It sucks that I was only 10 years old at the time of this transit. I was oblivious to what happened. I absolutely love astronomy now at the age of 22. We won’t see another Venus transit in our lifetime. The next one will occur in December 2117. A Venus transit can only occur in June or December. A Mercury transit can only occur in May or November. The next Mercury transit won’t occur until 2032 and it won’t be visible from North America.
It is not perfectly round, but from that far away it is perfectly round. Think of it like a pixel circle, the further you move back, the more round it looks.
You are right I notice the same ... my only guess is since the size of the Sun and the size of Venus light is bend around and makes that effect ... any one has another suggestion ? or we may have discover something new ? We meaning humans..
actually i think it might be due to the fact that light is affected by gravity, and some of the light from the sun is being bent around venus so we can see it from the telescope, but since venus' gravitational field isn't exceptionally strong, you can only see it a little bit. This principle is true and proven, first seen by astronomers (I think it might have been Galileo) looking at a solar eclipse, and could see the image of stars on the moon when it was between earth and the sun.
@@maiitoVA LOL. That is hilarious. Color me red. I don't know what to say. lol you got me. I deserve it. Thank you for enlightening me. I could have responded with "Certainly it's been 9 years. However, I didn't have any thoughts on the subject at hand at the time". But that wouldn't have held much water. You have a good day sir. But if I may ask of you one small favor please. If you will view the video once more, and tell me that you can't see right through Venus, what should be a terrestrial planet. And even if it was a gas planet, I don't believe we have the kind of scopes that can see right through them, let alone terrestrial planets. I just want an honest response as well as your honest opinionThank you. 9 years...wow!
I will assume that you did take the time to see the video once more. And having not hear anything from you, I will also assume that you caught exactly what I was referring to. Kind of almost leaves you speechless, doesn't it? Or more like disappointed to learn that NASA lied to us. They take our money, and in return they give us a cartoon. I understand you can't explain this to me simply because you can't. That's okay, this won't be the last one either.

Dude your soo right, Sometimes I'm not sure what to believe with these people, I'm starting to doubt we really landed on the moon, and that we have rovers on Mars.
The gravity of the planet causes light to bend around it, meaning the light directly behind the planet is visible.

Since when is Venus transparent? You can clearly see through it as it enters the 'Suns' circumference.. 0:24 and a few times after.
Thats pretty neat. It almost looks as if its only a few meters away from the Sun when it crosses over, but in reality its like miles, lol.

This an aberration caused by nearly all ccd chips.
probably problems with the camera or reflection of sunlight

You are right I notice the same ... my only guess is since the size of the Sun and the size of Venus light is bend around and makes that effect ... any one has another suggestion ? or we may have discover something new ? We meaning humans..
actually i think it might be due to the fact that light is affected by gravity, and some of the light from the sun is being bent around venus so we can see it from the telescope, but since venus' gravitational field isn't exceptionally strong, you can only see it a little bit. This principle is true and proven, first seen by astronomers (I think it might have been Galileo) looking at a solar eclipse, and could see the image of stars on the moon when it was between earth and the sun.
Good try...let's see how many people actually bite into that one.
@@jackmenendez4519 you had 9 years to look it up lol what's stopping you?
@@maiitoVA LOL. That is hilarious. Color me red. I don't know what to say. lol you got me. I deserve it. Thank you for enlightening me. I could have responded with "Certainly it's been 9 years. However, I didn't have any thoughts on the subject at hand at the time". But that wouldn't have held much water. You have a good day sir.
But if I may ask of you one small favor please. If you will view the video once more, and tell me that you can't see right through Venus, what should be a terrestrial planet. And even if it was a gas planet, I don't believe we have the kind of scopes that can see right through them, let alone terrestrial planets.
I just want an honest response as well as your honest opinionThank you.
9 years...wow!
I will assume that you did take the time to see the video once more. And having not hear anything from you, I will also assume that you caught exactly what I was referring to. Kind of almost leaves you speechless, doesn't it? Or more like disappointed to learn that NASA lied to us. They take our money, and in return they give us a cartoon. I understand you can't explain this to me simply because you can't. That's okay, this won't be the last one either.
NASA Never A Straight Answer
Going nowhere since 1958
The only thing they've thrown into space is our imagination.
@@jackmenendez4519 I didn't reply because I didn't think it was worth engaging with a random person on the internet who isn't willing to look up what I said, or able to understand pretty straightforward physics concepts. Have a nice day!
Great videos. I wonder what's the soundtrack used? Will anyone please post the soundtrack?
Had to watch this in Astronomy
The world said do not look at this with the naked eye. It's dangerous but x-ray sheets from my daughter's scan when she was still in side her mummy's tummy worked with no problem. It was cloudy that day but I did have a moment where it was just the universe and me. Picture perfect try next time if you believe.
