That is a picturre of the Venus transit...not earth.

The article does not make it as clear as posted here, but they are talking about a different picture showing the Earth from Venus, with (obviosly) no sun behind the earth.

Anyhow, the picture here is not meant to represent the Earth transitting the sun from Veus.

Hope that helps.
