This documentary is based on Venus
Transit. Today, solar eclipse is not an
unknown happening to us. We all know
how solar eclipse occurs. Our Earth
revolves around the Sun and the Moon
revolves around the Earth. When all these
three come on a straight line where the
Moon is in between the two and covers the
Sun for some time, we on the Earth call
this event as the solar eclipse. This is not
the case with the Moon and the Sun only.
Whenever any heavenly body comes in
between the Earth and the Sun on a
straight line and covers the Sun, similar
events occur.
