Cassini-Huygens Home
The close encounter with Mars, the landings of the MER rovers, the transit of Venus, and the arrival of Cassini-Huygens, and the first non-governmental launch of humans into space -- what an astronomical year.

Now, or wait for 113 years: "William Harkness, director of the U.S. Naval Observatory in 1882, poetically pondered what the world would be like the next time Venus inched across the sun:
'There will be no other (transit of Venus) till the twenty-first century of our era has dawned upon the earth, and the June flowers are blooming in 2004. When the last transit occurred the intellectual world was awakening from the slumber of ages, and that wondrous scientific activity which has led to our present advanced knowledge was just beginning. What will be the state of science when the next transit season arrives God only knows.'"
