1769 transit of Venus
Added 2024-02-05 17:22:36 +0000 UTCA transit of Venus across the Sun takes place when the planet Venus passes directly between the Sun and a superior planet, becoming visible against (and hence obscuring a small portion of) the solar disk. During a transit, Venus can be seen from Earth as a small black dot moving across the face of the Sun. The duration of such transits is usually several hours (the transit of 2012 lasted 6 hours and 40 minutes). A transit is similar to a solar eclipse by the Moon. Although the diameter of Venus is more than three times that of the Moon, Venus appears smaller and travels more slowly across the face of the Sun, because it is much farther away from Earth.

Hmmm.. The opening sketch must’ve been a pain to write and keep fresh without leaning-in on the meta content. 🤔 And, considering the “dense” topics chosen recently, it’s probably best Eli concentrates on helping to make Noah sound like someone you might find interesting in IRL..?
