When has and will Venus pass BEHIND the Sun?

With all the hoopla about the Venus Transit on June 8, I am wondering how often and when the second planet from the Sun has and will pass BEHIND our yellow dwarf G2 class star as seen from Earth, and has anyone witnessed that event? Plus, what science could be gained from this?
