Transits of Venus are very rare events, but when they do occur they come in pairs 8 years apart.
The last pair of transits were
in 1874 and 1882. The last one was in 2004 and the next will be on Jun 5-6 2012. You can get information on the Transit by looking at the websites below - remember to never look directly at the Sun when observing the transit.
