Venus was occulted by the moon earlier today

Wow! Didn't even know about that. I once observed some years ago with my 10-inch Dob Saturn reemerging from behind the moon. That was an incredible sight! Will never forget it. Sold the scope years ago. Now only have binocs, which I haven't used for several years. Think I'll get back into it soon.

I think the occultation took place when both the moon and Venus were invisible in the US (or at least most of it).
