Well—twice for those who are lucky.
There will be a transit of Venus on June 5/June 6 (depending on what part of the world you live in). It begins around 2205 UT on June 5 in North America—when it will be late afternoon on June 5 there, and it will still be in progress at sunset. In the British Isles, it will be in progress at sunrise on June 6 and will end not too long thereafter. (Good luck with your weather, Brits!) It will not be visible at all from most of Spain, from eastern Africa, or from most of South America.
The last such event was eight years ago, in June 2004. But don't count on seeing the one after this one. Unless you plan on being around—with good mental function—in December of 2117.
