20 March - Sun-Earth Day in United States
Sun-Earth Day is a combination of programs and events throughout the year ending with a Sun-Earth Day celebration on or near the Spring Equinox in March.
NASA announced the first Sun-Earth Day in 2004, to celebrate the Transit of Venus – a rare celestial event in which Venus passes between Earth and the Sun, briefly casting its shadow over the latter. The event is different than a solar eclipse, which—caused by the moon passing between Earth and the Sun—blocks the Sun from our earthling view. Because Venus is much farther away than the moon, its shadow appears as a tiny dot moving across the solar disk.
