Astronomy enthusiasts across China will be blessed to see on a spectacular transit of Venus on the morning of June 6, the last such astronomical phenomenon in the century, Yangcheng Evening News reported.
據《羊城晚報》報道，天文愛好者可以在6月6日上午一飽眼福，觀測到本世紀最后一次金星凌日。
A transit occurs when a planet passes directly between the sun and the Earth; therefore the planet, in this case Venus, becomes visible and hence obscures a small portion of the solar disk.
凌日是指行星（本次是金星）運行至太陽和地球之間，因此可以觀測到太陽圓盤上有一個小黑點。
The next transit of Venus will take place on Dec. 11, 2117.
下一次金星凌日將發生在2117年12月11日。
