Transits have helped shape our view of the whole Universe, as Heather Cooper and Nigel Henbest explain A On 8 June 2004, more than half the population of the world were treated to a rare astronomical event. For over six hours, the planet Venus steadily inched its way over the surface of the Sun. This ‘transit’ of Venus was the first since 6 December 1882. On that occasion, the American astronomer Professor Simon Newcomb led a party to South Africa to observe the event. They were based at a girls’ school, where - it is alleged - the combined forces of three schoolmistresses outperformed the professionals with the accuracy of their observations. B For centuries, transits of Venus have drawn explorers and astronomers alike to the four corners of the globe. And you can put it all down to the extraordinary polymath Edmond Halley. [1] Halley observed a transit of Mercury, from the desolate island of St Helena in the South Pacific. [2] He realized that, from different latitudes, the passage of the planet across the Sun’s disc - differ. [3] By timing the transit from two widely-separated locations >>> calculate the parallax angle [4] Calculating this angle =>> measure the distance [Earth - Sun] (AU) >>> MAIN IDEA: observe transit of Mercury - from # locations => # result =>> timing =>> parallax angle =>> distance [Sun - Earth]
C Halley was aware that the AU was one of the most fundamental of all astronomical measurements. Johannes Kepler: the distances [planets - Sun] =>>>> their speeds [measurable]. But no-one had found a way to calculate distances [the planets - Earth] The goal was to measure the AU; then, knowing the orbital speeds of all the other planets round the Sun, the scale of the Solar System would fall into place. However, Halley realized that Mercury was so far away that its parallax angle would be very difficult to determine. As Venus was closer to the Earth, its parallax angle would be larger, and Halley worked out that by using Venus it would be possible to measure the Suns distance to 1 part in 500. But there was a problem: transits of Venus, unlike those of Mercury, are rare, occurring in pairs roughly eight years apart every hundred or so years. Nevertheless, he accurately predicted that Venus would cross the face of the Sun in both 1761 and 1769 - though he didn’t survive to see either. D Inspired by Halley’s suggestion of a way to pin down the scale of the Solar System, teams of British and French astronomers set out on expeditions to places as diverse as India and Siberia. But things weren’t helped by Britain and France being at war. The person who deserves most sympathy is the French astronomer Guillaume Le Gentil. [1] He was thwarted by the fact that the British were besieging his observation site at Pondicherry in India. [2] Fleeing on a French warship crossing the Indian Ocean, Le Gentil saw a wonderful transit - but the ship’s pitching and rolling ruled out any attempt at making accurate observations. [3] Undaunted, he remained south of the equator -before setting off to observe the next transit in the Philippines. [4] Ironically after travelling nearly 50,000 kilometres, his view was clouded out at the last moment, a very dispiriting experience. >>> MAIN IDEA: - observe 1st transit → hindered by Britain and France war - observe 2nd transit → clouded out
