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. 🙂
