Figure 1:
Three-dimensional view of the 1985-2001 composite trail encounter with Venus in August 2006.
The asterisk marks the position of Venus on 29 August (1900 UT), when the two orbits intersect on the XY plane ( left panel).
At that time, the trail will be under the planet, moving upwards and outwards towards its ascending node on
the Venusian orbital plane. Its closest approach to Venus occurs a day later at  19:00 UT on 30 August. |
