  1. 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.
  2. The free, 2D rectilinear short films to be provided through Science through Shadows (STS) are intended to engage library patrons in public awareness about solar and lunar eclipses, stellar occultations, and planetary transits. The videos can be shown with closed-captioning on library kiosks and public service announcement screens.

    Mar 22, 2024A useful way to organize the Mercury's transits is by grouping them into series where each member is separated by 16,802 days or 46 years (= sum of 13 and 33 years). Transits of Venus are much rarer; only six such events have occurred since the invention of the telescope (1631,1639, 1761,1769, 1874 and 1882) Occultation

    Describes how eclipses, transits and occultations are all interrelated and what we can learn from them; Relates the important discoveries made by observers of these events, ranging from evidence of satellites and asteroids, the dimensions of asteroids, unsuspected rings of planets, the structure of planetary atmospheres and the discovery and makeup of extra solar planets

    Much of what is known about the universe came from the study of celestial shadows. This book looks in detail at the way eclipses and other celestial shadows have given us amazing insights into the nature of the objects in our solar system and how they are even helping us discover and analyze planets that orbit stars other than our Sun. A variety of eclipses, transits, and occultations of the ...

    Space Science Systems/Texas A&M Univ. Scientific concepts associated with eclipses, transits and occultations that can help us learn about the solar system, our galaxy and beyond. I have divided these into three categories below. Each of the lists is not exhaustive and is meant to be a starting point for exploring astrophysical phenomena. 1.

    in spite of the eclipses of distant stars, there are two phenomena similar to an eclipse: occultations and transits. OCCULTATIONS. In our Solar System, besides the planets, there are thousands of asteroids, comets, and distant objects beyond the orbit of Neptune called trans Neptunians objects.. The best example and largest one of these objects are Pluto and its moons but there are many others ...

    When we are fortunate enough to view an exoplanetary system nearly edge-on, the star and planet periodically eclipse each other. Observations of eclipses (transits and occultations) provide a bonanza of information that cannot be obtained from radial-velocity data alone, such as the relative dimensions of the planet and its host star, as well as the orientation of the planet's orbit relative ...
