3. VIEW OF EARTH FROM MOON DURING TRANSIT FROM MOON

4. VIEW OF TRANSIT AS SEEN FROM TRACE
Notes: a) Based upon predictive TRACE orbital ephemeris of March 10, 2004
           b) Note refelective parallactic motion of Venus across Sun

5. VIEW OF TRACE ORBIT AROUND EARTH FROM SUN DURING TRANSIT
Notes: a) TRACE is in a Sun synchronous orbit.
          b) Based upon predictive TRACE orbital ephemeris of March 10, 2004

6. OCCULTATION OF EARTH BY VENUS FROM SUN
Notes: a) From Solar Latitude -41° 18' South
           b) North is up, grid is ecliptic longitude and latitude

7. OCCULTATION OF MOON BY VENUS FROM SUN
Notes: a) From Solar Latitude -47° 42' South
           b) North is up, grid is ecliptic longitude and latitude

8. SEQUENTIAL GRAZING OCCULTATIONS OF EARTH & MOON BY VENUS FROM SUN
So... if you didn't mind the heat, and you paid a visit to the Sun at Solar Latitude -45° 30' & Longitude +42° 00', you would first see a grazing occultation of the Earth's northern limb by Venus's southern limb, and 5 hours later a grazing occultation of the Moon's southern limb by Venus's northern limb. Don't forget to bring your video camera (and your SPF 50,000,000 lotion).
