Q: Will the transit of Venus in a few weeks, be visible at Mars?
Could Oppy (or orbiters) resolve it ??? -------------------- CLA CLL

"The next simultaneous Earth-Venus transit seen from Mars will be in the year 571,471."
I assume that a simultaneous Mercury-Venus transit as seen from Earth is impossible because of the difference in orbital planes? |
