Main results from the Venus Transit 2012 expeditions to Svalbard and
Canberra
Two expeditions were organized to observe the unique event from 2 distant
locations on Earth: Longyearbyen, in the Svalbard Islands, and Canberra, in
Australia. This was one of the longest baselines achievable for ground
observers. The dataset, therefore, offers unique information and spectacular
parallax effects in two spectral ranges (h-alpha and white light).
