In the year 2117, this phenomenon was said to occur again.
On the 5th of June, the planet will cross the sun; an exceptional filter will be utilized to see and observe it.
In Mexico City, March 29, 2012. It is said that the observation conducted by the Mayan astronomers can certainly foresee the transit of Venus across the sun, that will actually take place on June 5, and not a believed end of the planet, mentioned Jesus Galindo Trejo, from the UNAM Aesthetic Research Institute (IIE).
Subsequently after five in the afternoon, the astronomical event, repeating by the year 2117 once more - could be seen through the entire country for almost two hours. In order to watch the event, a special filter was recommended to be used by the Prehispanic Mural Painting Project in Mexico.
Simultaneously, you'll be able to view Mercury in the horizon appearling like a bright spot; one day before, there'll be a partial lunar eclipse which will be visible just after 4 in the morning, according to statement said.
The so-called doomsday prophecies cannot be attributed to civilization, according to the specialist. The specialists also stated that the records, texts or codices found on Stelae do not refer to then abrupt end of the world.
"There is certainly no cause for concern. The Mayans did not foresee the world's end, nor a galactic ray to appear to move the center of the Sun or that such galactic ray or a meteorite would likely get rid of the earth. All these are very simple exaggerations," he stated.
The observations of Venus conducted by the Mayans were recorded In codices, Stelae and murals, including its 584 day synodic period and the phases of its appearance and disappearance. It's possible they might have documented the Venus' transit across the Sun, which in turn is mainly responsible for the interest of Hispanic culture for such planet, he mentioned.
The Dresden Codex shows that their observation was conducted with special effort. At Chichen Itza where the so-called Platform of Venus is located, a stelae having glyph of Venus which is like a great bright eye, along with a band that represented the number five was found. On its one side, there's a pack of rods having the solar year glyph along with eight beads.
Now this set symbolizes only an observational-astronomic- identity: 8x365 greater than 5x584, this means, the total number of days in eight solar years matches five synodic periods of such object. Which indicates that Venus, as viewed from Planet earth is put in a similar location in accordance with the Sun every single 8 years.
