How is the next transit of Venus not until 2117? That blows my socks’ mind. Seems like that should be happening very regularly.
Same reasons for any eclipses :
.1- plane of orbits (the one for Venus and the one for the Earth) do not exactly coincide and
.2- because distances between objects are much larger than objects, including size of the sun.I believe you. Still seems wild that I will never see another one in my lifetime.
It's probably more about how often it's visible in your part of the world than it happening at all if I had to guess.
