Revealing that which is concealed. Learning about anything that resembles real freedom. A journey of self-discovery shared with the world.

The moon will perform a spectacular astronomical ‘dance’ past
three planets and a Leo constellation star as part of a rare lunar
‘occultation’ on Monday.
Depending
on your location, you may get the opportunity to see Earth’s natural
satellite ‘cover’ Venus, Mars, Mercury or even one of the brightest
stars in the sky, Regulus. WHAT IS IT?
An occultation occurs when a planet (or an asteroid) passes between an object in the distance and the object’s observer.
According to the science publication EarthSky, the event promises to be the last time three planets are almost simultaneously occulted by the moon until 2036.
The discovery of the rings of Uranus can be credited to a 1977 occultation
with a far-off star, after NASA’s Kuiper Airborne Observatory spotted
the stunning feature against its brighter backdrop during the celestial
event.
BEST PLACE TO SEE IT
The best place on Earth to see the moon glide between us and Mars will be around the islands of Hawaii at 20:00 GMT.
People
on board ships in the South Pacific could also get an eyeful of the
Mercury occult before midnight on Monday – should they have a telescope
handy.
In the current round
of lunar fly-bys, people living around Australia, New Zealand and
Indonesia should have already experienced the occultation of Venus and
Regulas, which took place between 01:00 and 05:00 GMT.
Already,
people have posted messages and photos on instagram and other social
media platforms after witnessing the astonishing event.
