Celestial path

 

Passage of Venus (1874)


Directed by P.J.C. Janssen this is a very early short film. We see the planet Venus as it starts to move across the sun.


More a collection of stills than an actual film this still must have been ground breaking in its day. The film is barely more than five seconds long but is just enough to give you an idea of the movement of the planet Venus. Impressive for the date it comes from.


2/5
