Hi folks,
after the recent Venus transit, somebody in our astronomy club had speculated
how often we should be able to observe a Venus and Mercury transit at the same
time, ie. both planets on the Sun's disk simultaneously.
He arrived at an interval of once every 745 thousand years, and even though I
can't say if that makes sense, it's certainly a pretty rare event.
Now, I wondered if Guide could give me a hint on when this would occur, but I
then found that the Extras | Find conjunction menu option would only work with
the two last selected celestial bodies.
The question is, is there a way to make Guide find conjunctions of more than two
planets?
Best regards,
Arild :)
