Thanks for finding this knak! Venus is what we are talking about! June 8 of this year marks the once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event called the “Transit of Venus”. Interestingly, 8, June marks the death of Mohammed and the founding of Islam. The Transit of Venus is an astronomical event much like a solar eclipse, except the planet Venus crosses between the Sun and Earth. In addition to this year, the Transit will re-occur again on June 6th, 2012. The year 2012 stands out in South American lore as the culmination of the Mayan calendar, and Venus is associated with Quetzal Coatl, the Mayan Christ figure who roamed the earth in AD 40. Transits of Venus are associated with huge leaps forward in human knowledge. For example, the last Transit of Venus occurred back in 1882, right around the discovery of electricity. This transit also coincided with the eruption of the Krakatau volcano shortly afterwards, and the shockwave was mistaken for an earthquake for miles. As a result, particle dust blocked out enough harmful solar radiation to cool the planet by 1.2 degrees in 1883.
