Give it a rest, eh? He only wanted to know what the object was, he

My lucky star is probably Eta Carinae.

The star and crescent is one of the most prominent symbols around,its
roots stretching back to remote antiquity -

What you do is balance the ancient appreciation with a contemporary
appreciation based on the Copernican arrangement of planets around the
central Sun and how its motions relates to that of the Earth.

You are confirmed geocentrists and express the 'transit' events in
terms of Venus passing between the Earth and the Sun (that
description is valid for Ptolemaic astronomy) instead of the
heliocentric expression of Venus overtaking the Earth with the central
Sun as a backdrop.If you eventually do rise to the heliocentric
level ,then congratulations on becoming a real astronomer.

There are other still who are astrologers such as Pete and Anthony who
can only manage Venus passing against the Sun and this represents the
lowest level possible.
