Subject : “The Rarest Straight Line in a Decade – Hide & Seek of Venus“

10 years ago on 6th June 2012 Venus came in a straight line with the Sun & Earth at its transit on the Solar disk for 6 hours.
Yesterday 24 June 2023 again Venus came in straight line with Earth & Moon and was occulted by Moon for 1 hour 18 minutes
A transit is that, when an object passes in front of a larger object and makes a straight line with earth.
And an occultation is an event that occurs when one object is hidden from the observer by another object that passes between them. It’s also a case of a straight line of trio.
Both Pictures are taken from Kolkata, India in a difference of 10 years
