[QUOTE="net1, post: 46667"] The forthcoming Transit of Venus, will be shown in a one-hour special hosted by Adam Hart-Davis on BBC Two. As Venus passes between the Sun and the Earth on the morning of the June 8 2004, BBC cameras will be at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich and other locations around the country where amateur and professional astronomers witness this curious phenomenon, not seen for 122 years. In addition, in preparation for the stellar event, BBC Two screens a half-hour prequel spectacular on Saturday, June 5 as an introduction to the main programme. It will show viewers how to see the transit safely and effectively, and will preview some of the many public events round the country where telescopes will be set up to let people see this extraordinary stellar event. There is such an interest in this phenomenon that on June 8, BBC One will carry two live reports during its Breakfast programme and again at 09:55 and noon, the latter featuring viewers timing the exact moment when the edge of Venus touches the edge of the Sun's disc which will let them measure the distance to the Sun. This will happen during the live broadcast from noon. [/QUOTE]
