Lunar Occultation
Context
The moon recently crossed in front of the well-known red star Antares, as captured by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) in Bengaluru.
What is Lunar Occulation?
- In astronomy, a lunar occultation is when the Moon blocks out another celestial object, like a star, planet, or asteroid.
- Because of the Moon's close vicinity, this phenomena, like an eclipse, can only be seen from particular points on Earth.
