Hi
it is AD as it says the Martians will have to wait till then and the moon
will also be in the transit so they will see 3 things in front of the sun
definitely worth waiting for

Hi
if you lived on Mars how often if ever would you see a transit of earth
and
is it as rare as the forthcoming venus transit


Transits of Earth are very rare - the last was on 11 May 1984 and was
the subject of Arthur Clarke's short story with that name. He used the
calculations by Jan Meeus which were published in the Journal of the
British Astronomical Association vol. 72 no 6, 1962.
The next one is on 10 November 2084.

I have just been reading the June BAA Journal which arrived this morning.
Apparently in the year 571,741 there will be a simultaneous transit of
Earth
and Venus, as viewed from Mars.

Not sure whether this is AD or not.
