Description

On 5-6 June 2012, Venus will be transiting the Sun for the last time in this century. This unique opportunity, besides offering the opportunity of investigating the mesosphere of the planet, also provides a significant nearby analog of exoplanet transits. Several studies using the transmission spectroscopy technique have provided significant insights into the atmospheric composition, structure, and dynamics of hot giant exoplanets. In this context, Venus is our closest model for a telluric exoplanet.
