On Saturday South Africa was in an ideal spot to see a somewhat rare event. The occultation of Venus by the Moon. (Occultation is just a fancy way of saying that one object hides another by moving in front of it).
I took a few photos and compiled a composite image. This image has now been featured on the front page of
www.spaceweather.com, a NASA supported site.
Full image.
To those not familiar with astronomy sites, this is kinda similar to getting a video of your garage band played on national TV.
This is so uber cool I just had to share it!
