\"Transit<\/a>
The June 2004 Transit of Venus, image credit Jan Herold<\/figcaption><\/figure>For reference I am posting precise transit timing for the June 5th Transit of Venus. The data is taken from Fred Espenak’s wonderful NASA Eclipse Website<\/a>. I just extracted the cities that are of most interest to my Hawaiian readers. For the full list of US cities you can go here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As you might notice, the times change by a mere two seconds between Kona and Honolulu. These times will be pretty close for the entire island chain. That last number is the Sun’s altitude, the angle above the horizon. Note that this is near 90° for Hawai’i, nearly straight up for the start of the event. Final contact will occur with an altitude of about 5°, just above the horizon near sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

All times are local time. Keep in mind that this event occurs on June 5th for viewers in the US and Hawai’i. Some sources show June 6th for a date, and so it will be for viewers on the other side of the date line in Australia, Japan and China.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
