At greatest transit
(01:30 UT) the
image point of the Sun and of Venus
(subsolar point) is located at 22.7° N
(=declination of the Sun and Venus) and
157.2° E (=360° -
Greenwich hour angle of the Sun and Venus) in
the Pacific Ocean: there
the greatest transit
happens in the
zenith of the observer:

Earth, Mercury, Venus und Mars on 2012 June 6
The
geocentric end of the transit is at 4:49 UT.
The borderline separating
the sunlit and darkened hemispheres runs from
central Africa to Spain,
to east of Ireland, and Greenland, which is in
agreement with the
prediction Proctor's book plate IX, published
in 1882.
