The first known observations and recording of a transit of Venus were made in 1639 by the English astronomers Jeremiah Horrocks and his friend and correspondent William Crabtree. The pair made their observations independently on 4 December that year (24 November under the Julian calendar then used in England); Horrocks from Carr House, then in the village of Much Hoole, Lancashire, and Crabtree from his home in Broughton, near Manchester.

  • 英国天文学家杰雷米亚·霍罗克斯及其友人对于1639年金星凌日的观测是已知的首次留有记录的金星凌日观测。他们在那年的12月4日(按照英格兰当时通行的儒略历是11月24日)各自独立地进行了观察:霍罗克斯是在兰开夏郡的以及村观测的,克拉布特里则是在曼彻斯特附近的家中观测的。 约翰内斯·开普勒的友人及其创造的新天文学的追随者一直通过观测来修正改进开普勒的魯道夫星曆表。霍罗克斯是唯一一个意识到1639年金星凌日将要到来的天文学家,其他的天文学家是在霍罗克斯的报告广为传播后才意识到的。尽管二人在完成此次观测后五年内双双离世,但他们突破性的工作对于太阳系体积的研究具有深远影响。由于此次观测以及其他的一系列成就,霍罗克斯、克拉布特里以及他们的笔友被尊为英国天文学研究之父。 (zh)
