🌒 Occultation IN 11 DAYS · 14.09

Daytime lunar occultation of Venus — visible from Ukraine

A rare event: in broad daylight the Moon passes right in front of Venus. From Kyiv, Venus disappears behind the lunar disk around 12:54 and reappears around 13:50 local time. You'll need binoculars or a telescope. Be extremely careful: the Sun is above the horizon — never point optics anywhere near it.
