1924 transit

The 1924 transit refers to the rare astronomical event when Venus passed directly across the Sun's face, observable as a small black dot moving across the solar disk. This occurs in a precise pattern repeating every 121.5 and 105.5 years. Such transits are valuable for scientists to measure the distance between Earth and the Sun, enhancing our understanding of the solar system's scale. The 1924 transit was significant as astronomers worldwide observed it to refine these measurements, contributing to the broader progress of astronomy and planetary science.
