Η απόκρυψη του Κρόνου από τη Σελήνη. Saturn Disappears Behind the Full Flower Moon May 14 – Watch it Live

Simulation of the moon closing in on Saturn just prior to occultation. In the western hemisphere, we’ll watch the nearly full Flower Moon make a close pass of the planet. If you’ve had difficulty finding the celestial ring bearer, you’ll have no problem Tuesday night. Take a look at Saturn’s wonderful system of rings in your telescope – they’re tipped nearly wide open this year. For even more fun, see how many moons you can spot. And don’t forget, you can watch it online courtesy of astrophysicist Gianluca Masi. His Virtual Telescope website will broadcast the occultation live starting at 10:15 Universal Time May 14 (6:15 a.m. EDT, 5:15 CDT, 4:15 MDT and 3:15 PDT). Credit: Gianluca Masi using SkyX software.
