In 2012 the last Transit of Venus visible to people of our time will occur. This is a film project about the event, supported by the European Planetology Network (europlanet-eu.org/).

On this channel you can find related videos: a trailer, short videos that cover the event (we will follow scientists that participate in the Venus Twilight Experiment, see venustex.oca.eu/foswiki) and presentations by leading scientists and outreach people from Europe and the US.

You will also find videos made by students from the Széchenyi István Secondary School (Sopron, Hungary) in the context of the "Back to the Future - Observing the Transit of Venus now and then" project, also co-funded by the European Planetology Network. It is based on the 1769 Transit of Venus expedition of hungarians János Sajnovics and Miksa Hell.
