Cleanup articletitle File Moon transit of sun large.ogg thumb A lunar transit of the sun captured during calibration of the STEREO B spacecraft s ultraviolet imaging . The Moon appears much smaller than it does seen from Earth, because the spacecraft Moon separation was several times greater than the Earth Moon distance. The term transit or astronomical transit has three meanings in astronomy A transit is the astronomy astronomical event that occurs when one celestial body appears to move across the face of another celestial body, hiding a small part of it, as seen by an observer at some particular vantage point. If the first celestial body hides a major part, or all of, the second celestial body, then it is an occultation rather than a transit. A transit occurs when a celestial body crosses the meridian astronomy meridian due to the Earth s rotation, about halfway between rising and setting. For instance, the Sun transits the meridian at solar noon . Observation of meridian transits was once very important for timekeeping purposes see transit instrument .
