Saturn will appear to pass behind the Moon tonight if you happen to be watching the sky from eastern Australia, in an event called the lunar occultation of Saturn.
The occultation of Saturn occurs when the Moon appears to pass in front of Saturn from the viewpoint of Earth. These celestial events are only visible for a small part of Earth each time they occur, so you need to be in the right place at the right time to watch it unfold.
Tonight’s lunar occultation will be visible from parts of eastern Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra.
