My copy of the Cambridge Encyclopedia does not list a second transit 8
years before or after the one in 1639, but does list other pairs in
1761/1769 and 1874/1882. Does any one have better information, or know
for sure if Galileo saw a transit?
The 1639 transit was quite nearly central, and the usual two transit
pattern was broken.
