Transit of Venus
Amongst the rarest of predictable astronomical phenomena, is when Venus visibly passes in front of the Sun.
I was incredibly fortunate to view this event back in 2012 as it only happens in paired sightings 8 years apart.
The previous transit was 121 years before that back in 1884.
The next predicted transit will be in 2117.
This solid Zimbabwean black granite base and open-cast bronze plate table pays homage to this special astronomical event.
The bronze plate effortlessly swivels 360° creating a kinetic interactive experience.
