English: On June 5-6 2012, SDO is collecting images of one of the rarest predictable solar events: the transit of Venus across the face of the sun.

Esperanto: Je 2012-06-05/6 Venuso trairis antaŭ la sundisko. La foton faris la ter-satelito SDO (sun-dinamikaĵa observejo). La evento estas unu el la plej maloftaj antaŭdireblaj sunaj okazaĵoj; ĝi okazas en paroj apartigitaj per ok jaroj, ripetiĝantaj 105 aŭ 121 jarojn post la dua trairo. La lasta trairo antaŭ 2012 estis en 2004; la sekva okazos en 2117.
