On 2012 June 06 Venus will transit across the disk of the Sun. This rare event will be visible from many locations around the world. Table 2a presents the topocentric contact times (Universal Time) and corresponding altitudes of the Sun for 121 cities (international). For locations in the USA, see table 2b. Note that due to the International Date Line the Western Hemisphere will see the transit on June 5.
