Dru Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 yeah it sounds like the next one will be good in the ol' pnw with transit occurring at sunset i better get myself a 400mm zoom by then. Geographic Visibility of 2012 June 06 The global visibility of the 2012 transit is illustrated with the world map in figure 3 ( Low Res or High Res ). The entire transit (all four contacts) is visible from northwestern North America, Hawaii, the western Pacific, northern Asia, Japan, Korea, eastern China, Philippines, eastern Australia, and New Zealand. The Sun sets while the transit is still in progress from most of North America, the Caribbean, and northwest South America. Similarly, the transit is already in progress at sunrise for observers in central Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and eastern Africa,. No portion of the transit will be visible from Portugal or southern Spain, western Africa, and the southeastern 2/3 of South America. The horizontal parallax of Venus (~30 arc-sec) introduces a topocentric correction of up to ±7 minutes with respect to the geocentric contact times for observers at different geographic locations. Topocentric contact times (Universal Time) and corresponding altitudes of the Sun are presented for over one hundred cities in table 2a (international) and table 2b (USA).
