    Applets Venus Konjunktionen
    The Britons Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, an astronomer and a land surveyor, travelled to South Africa engaged by the British Royal Society, to observe the Venus transit on June 6, 1761 from Cape Town. The are staying with a Dutch family and their daughters. Extracts of "Ladies, Ladies," Mason calls. " You've seen her in the Evening Sky, you've wish'd upon her, and now for a short time will she be seen in the Day-light, crossing the Disk of the Sun,- and do make a Wish then, if you think it will help. For Astronomers, who usually work at night, 'twill give us a chance to be up in the Day-time. Thro' our whole gazinglives, Venus has been a tiny Dot of Light, going through phases like the Moon, ever against the black face of Eternity. But on the day of this Transit, all shall suddenly reverse, as she is caught, dark, embodied, solid, against the face of the Sun, a Goddess descended from light to Matter."
