... Research Astronomer John Butler created an exhibition, ``Measuring the Solar System'', timed to coincide with the 8 June 2004 Transit of Venus, the first such transit visible for 121.5 years (the last was on 6 December 1882). The exhibition presented drawings, images and artefacts held by the Armagh Observatory and elsewhere, concerning various previous transits of Venus which historically had provided the first direct measurements of the size of the solar system. ...

... An overall criterion for standard-star selection is the accuracy needed in the final results: if you need more accuracy, you will need more standard stars. ... While it is possible to get a rough estimate of the extinction by observing different standard stars at high and low airmasses, the relatively large conformity errors in most photometric systems, together with the low accuracy of some standards, make this method very inefficient (see Young [ 10 ], p.178). ...
