 Occultation of Saturn - Friday March 2nd 2007

NewsThere was an occultation of Saturn by the Moon in the early hours of Friday March 2nd 2007.

From the Astronomy Centre Observatory, the occultation started at 02:36. Saturn disappeared for about seven minutes from here, and the whole thing was over by about 02:54. Other areas saw a grazing occultation or, from a narrow strip of the UK, a partial occultation.
