No full textPamflet van de Engelse instrumentenmaker Benjamin Martin waarin een overzicht gegeven wordt van alle Venusovergangen voor de zonneschijf tussen 918 en 2117. Martin baseerde zijn gravure op berekeningen, die de Engelse sterrenkundige Edmond Halley (1656-1742) ruim een halve eeuw eerder had gepubliceerd. De hierin vermelde data, opgegeven in de toen nog in Engeland gangbare Juliaanse kalender, werden allen door Martin (ook de data vóór 1583) omgezet naar de Gregoriaanse kalender. De gravure laat goed zien dat Venusovergangen vaak paarsgewijs optreden met een interval van acht jaar (zie bijvoorbeeld 1518/1526, 1631/1639, 1761/1769), die ruim een eeuw uit elkaar liggen. Toen Halley zijn berekeningen in 1691 publiceerde was de seculiere verandering in de positie van de knopenlijn van Venus echter nog niet goed bekend en de data voor de vroegste en de laatste Venusovergangen zijn niet altijd juist. Zo waren er geen Venusovergangen in 918, 1048, 1161 en in 1291 (wel waren er overgangen in 910, 1032, 1040, 1153 en in 1275). Er was geen Venusovergang in 1996 en er zal ook geen zijn in 2109. De Venusovergangen van 1882, 2012 en 2125 werden echter door Halleys berekeningen niet herkend. Benjamin Martin (1704-1782) was een invloedrijke Engelse instrumentmaker, schrijver en wetenschapspopularisator
