Transit
(a celestial body passing between another and an observer)
A Transit is an astronomical body crossing between an observer
and an astronomical body. Examples are Transiting Planets,
such as Venus transiting across
the Sun, any solar-system planet crossing in front of a star,
or an Extra-Solar Planet crossing in front of its own star.
Transits are useful for a number of types of measurements
and studies. Transits of Moons in front of Jupiter and
Saturn have yielded useful data.
