Ed, Doug, List,
A catalogue of the series of Venus transits covering thousands
of years can be found at the URL below. Despite often occurring
in pairs, each transit in the pair belong to different series:
"Thus, the transits of 1518, 1761 and 2004 would belong to one
series, while the transits of 1639, 1882 and 2125 would belong
to another series. Such transit series are quite long-lived and
may last 5,000 years or more. For example, Series 4 (December
at Ascending Node) began in -1763 (1764 BCE) and will run
through 2854 (a grazing transit) for a total of 20 transits
spanning 4617 years."

The regularity comes from the almost perfect (but not quite)
approach to an 8:5 resonance lock between the Earth and Venus

"Maybe the Mayans were right, and 2012 will see us go out in a blaze
of
meteorite impacts!"
Hi Ed, List;
Poor Mayans, haven't they suffered enough at the hands of multiple
opressors to now be attributed this kooky modern rage. As the most
scientifically advanced society in the world of that age, countless
unnamed brilliant Mayan scientists and astronomers that 2012 is most
sacred because of the transit of Venus on this upcoming June 6, the
likes of which no living primate will likely recall when the next
opportunity shadows earth, nor who can recall the last one!.
They don't make calendars like they used to... Last year my free bank
calendar ended in December 2011, but my insurance agent's company was
so kind to save the world by giving me a complimentary 2012 calendar
to
read, buying more time before the whole thing goes *poop* the same way
it apparently began ;-)
Kindest wishes
Doug

Hi List,
Is it me, or are we seeing lots more activity than usual in recent
weeks?
Or are we just becoming more aware of these events through the
increase
in
"All Sky" Cameras, and people in general being more inclined to report
these
things, perhaps knowing more about what they are because of education
from
shows like "Meteorite Men?"
Maybe the Mayans were right, and 2012 will see us go out in a blaze of
meteorite impacts!
Ed
