  2. Planetary transits and occultations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_transits_and...

    The next time a mutual planetary transit or occultation will happen (as seen from Earth) will be on 22 November 2065 at about 12:43 UTC, when Venus near superior conjunction (with an angular diameter of 10.6") will transit in front of Jupiter (with an angular diameter of 30.9"); however, this will take place only 8° west of the Sun, and will therefore not be visible to the unaided/unprotected ...

  3. Astronomical transit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_transit

    Phobos transits the Sun, as viewed by the Perseverance rover on 2 April 2022. In astronomy, a transit (or astronomical transit) is the passage of a celestial body directly between a larger body and the observer. As viewed from a particular vantage point, the transiting body appears to move across the face of the larger body, covering a small ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XO-6b

    XO-6b is a transiting exoplanet, a hot Jupiter, orbiting the star XO-6 around 760 light years (230 parsecs) away from Earth. It was discovered in 2016 by the XO planet search team . [ 3 ] [ 4 ]

  5. WASP-12b - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WASP-12b

    WASP-12b is a hot Jupiter [5] (a class of extrasolar planets) orbiting the star WASP-12, discovered in April of 2008, by the SuperWASP planetary transit survey. [6] [1] The planet takes only a little over one Earth day to orbit its star, in contrast to about 365.25 days for the Earth to orbit the Sun.

  6. XO-2Nb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XO-2Nb

    Like most planets found by the transit method, it is a roughly Jupiter sized planet that orbits very close to its host star; in this case, it has a surface temperature of about 1200 K, so it belongs to a group of exoplanets known as hot Jupiters. The planet takes 2.6 days to orbit the star at the average distance of 0.0369 AU.

  7. TOI-6883 b - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOI-6883_b

    At the beginning, a single transit event was identified, so the extrasolar planet was first classified as a candidate with TOI-6883.01 [1] nomenclature. The discovery describes a planet with a radius of 1.087 times that of Jupiter, but without details of the orbital period.

    From May 25, 2024 to June 9, 2025, the expensive planet Jupiter will be transiting the sign of Gemini for the first time in 12 years. Jupiter will stay in the air sign for the next 12 months ...

  9. Exploration of Io - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploration_of_Io

    From these estimates of the orbital periods of Io and the other Galilean moons, astronomers hoped to generate ephemeris tables predicting the positions of each moon with respect to Jupiter, as well as when each moon would transit the face of Jupiter or be eclipsed by it.
