Lunar Occultation of Venus – Early Morning Wednesday April 22, 2009
Here is a photo of a Lunar Occulation of the planet Venus this early morning Tuesday April 21, 2009. This was taken in Richmond, B.C. by Al Tkatch , one of the co-founders of AHA MEDIA.
Lunar Occultation of Venus
An occultation is an event that occurs when one object is hidden by another object that passes between it and the observer. The word is used in astronomy to describe when an object in the foreground occults (covers up) objects in the background. A slim crescent Moon will occult Venus on the morning of April 22nd, 2009. .
Any time a bright planet and a thin crescent Moon are paired it makes a beautiful sight and worth taking a look if you are up before dawn. 🙂
Pictorial review of La Casita Mexican Restaurant in Gastown, Vancouver
Nice and quiet during this early evening 🙂 We chose our own seat by the window, and our server was a friendly guy, who was very patient as we looked over the menu. After we had ordered our two entrees, we were brought fresh homemade chips and salsa. 🙂
A welcoming atmosphere awaited a whole crowd of post-game Happy Canuck fans. We were glad we decided to dine early to avoid the big rush of hungry folks.
Here is a dining special. And considering the HUGE portion of food with a beer, $11 is a great deal!
I had a small flauta meal, made with potato and feta cheese, topped with green salsa – DELICIOUS and very filling! Very reasonably priced also
My dinner companion had a burito on its own. It came drenched in cheese! Supremely filling and tasty – he remarked! 🙂
Our bill was very reasonable, and our waiter was always very attentive throughout our dinner.
The surprising finish of our meal, was the chalkboard sign encouraging everyone to stop and have lunch tomorrow, after shopping at the Army and Navy Legendary Shoe Sale which begins at 8 A.M. – It’s nice to see the neighborly feel of our area 🙂
All in all, it was a great meal for a reasonable price on a beautiful spring evening in Vancouver’s Gastown area 🙂
