Did we learn anything new from this recent Venus Transit?

or did we simply observe it in ways we havent before due to scientific and technological advancements?

The hubble space telescope has been used to observe the transit (by observing it's reflection off the moon).  This is being used to confirm that our models of how extrasolar planets dim the light from their sun are correct.

Technically that's not something new, but it does give us greater confidence that our models are correct.
