Mutual planetary events (transits and occultations)

The data below gives the date and time for the center of each event, in the Gregorian calendar (even for dates before 1582) and in TD = Dynamical Time (a.k.a "Ephemeris Time"). If your astronomy software requires the entry of Universal Time, then you may have to subtract a few minutes (for times close to the present) to a few hours (for more distant eras). Each line begins with the two planets involved, and the minimum separation of their centers (in degrees).

Also, the events for the distant past and future are slightly more doubtful than those in more recent times; a discussion of the VSOP theory, used to compute these data, is available for those wanting details.

An event is listed if, at some point on the earth, the disk of one planet overlaps another. In some cases, all you get is a slight overlap visible from polar regions.

You'll immediately notice that, though these events occur at an average rate of about one every 35 years, that we are in the midst of a long dearth of such events. The last was in 1818; the next will be in 2065. This is a natural extension of Murphy's Law to celestial events.
