8The First Observed Transit of Venus
William Crabtree, a draper, attempted to observe
the December 4, 1639 transit of Venus using a
prediction made by Jeremiah Horrox, a
mathematician. (as depicted in a Ford Madox
Brown mural in Manchester City Hall and related
in Transit- When Planets Cross the Sun by
Maunder and Moore)

112004 Transit of Venus Visibility from Earth
From Fred Espenaks sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse
12The sky as seen in Microwaves. This is a picture
of how the Universe looked when it first became
transparent. The red areas are regions that are
slightly overdense (by about 1 part in 100,000).
The slightly overdense regions eventually
collapsed to form the filamentary structure of
galaxies that fills space.

16On the largest scales, the galaxies cluster into
voids and filaments. This structure results from
the competition between gravity and expansion.
