    This is a List of mutual planetary eclipses, including occultations and transits. Although mutual occultations of planets had been recorded in 581, [1] 1170, [2] 1590, [3] and 1737, [4] the first attempt to list past and future occultations of that nature was not made until 1970 during a manual search for conjunctions, in which Jan Meeus and ...

    Sometimes the partners in an eclipse-like dance do not yield the full-coverage effect of the upcoming solar eclipse or the MU69 occultation. In an event called a transit, the nearer object blocks very little of a star that lies beyond. Instead, you may see a small dark spot crossing the stellar face, as in the 2012 transit of Venus across the Sun.

    In astronomy, planetary transits and occultations occur when a planet passes in front of another object, as seen by an observer.The occulted object may be a distant star, but in rare cases it may be another planet, in which case the event is called a mutual planetary occultation or mutual planetary transit, depending on the relative apparent diameters of the objects.
  6. May 16, 2023The eight sets of problems in this section of the Year of the Solar System guide help students understand the difference between transits, eclipses and occultations. Students use mathematical concepts such as scale drawings, tangents, proportions, geometry, fractions and modeling to understand these terms in space science.
