 What is Transit of Venus
The next transit season occurs either 105.5 years or 121.5 years later at the opposite node of Venus' orbit. Once again, a pair of transits will often occur separated by eight years. This recurrence pattern of 8 + 105.5 + 8 + 121.5 years can be seen repeating itself in the catalog of Venus transits. An example of the pattern can be seen in the transits of 1874, 1882, 2004, 2012, 2117, 2125, 2247 and 2255. Occasionally, one of the eight year "double-transits" may disappear from the catalog for several centuries because one of them is a near miss.
