  • File: Teardrop effect of Venus in transit

    Venus in transit across the Sun, June 5, 2012 (enhanced contrast). The teardrop effect appears to be present on the upper left of Venus, though very slightly. This distorted shape would be due to refraction and scattering of light in the planet's atmosphere. This frame was taken 30 seconds after...
  • File: Teardrop effect of Venus in transit

    Looking at the edge of Venus toward the solar limb, the distorted shape known as the teardrop effect can be seen due to scattering of light in the planet's atmosphere. One thousand frames were taken at 30 frames per second using a Philips SPC 900 webcam at prime focus on a Celestron C8 telescope...
