Get a glimpse of next year’s skies with the Yearbook of Astronomy 2004, edited by astronomer Patrick Moore (Pan Macmillan, 拢14.99). The rare transit of Venus across the face of the sun takes place on 8 June. If the skies are clear, Londoners will have a great view of the complete event. Skywatchers are looking forward to this: the last one was in 1882.
