Outta this world!

They spent the day watching and this is what my daughter had to say.

'occultation and timing it. The egress was so beautiful with the crescent tips of a very bright Venus emerging from the edge of the lit crescent of the Moon. We watched it through the telescope but it was visible to the naked eye. I looked up your position on one of my astronomy programmes and saw that for you it was below the horizon and so not visible.'

I think that they usually use Stellarium.

Cheers.
