The 2004 and 2012 transits form a contemporary pair separated by 8 years. More than a century will elapse before the next pair of transits in 2117 and 2125. During the 6,000-year period from 2000 BC to AD 4000, a total of 81 transits of Venus occur. A catalog of these events containing additional details is available online at: eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/transit/catalog/VenusCatalog.html
Additional information on transits of both Mercury and Venus can be found at: eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/transit/transit.html
