Slide.... Occulation of Venus by the Moon tomorrow June 17, 2026.
U.S. Viewing time at bottom link.
From Spaceweather.com 6/16/2026
For the first time in 11 years, the crescent Moon will pass in front of Venus in broad daylight over the USA. The bright planet will disappear behind the Moon's dark edge and reappear about an hour later.
Can you really see this during the day? You can! Scan the blue sky with binoculars until you find the Moon's pale crescent. Once located, you'll discover both the Moon and Venus are surprisingly easy to see with the naked eye. A smartphone camera zoomed and pointed in the right direction will have no trouble recording the scene.
Warning: DO NOT point your optics at the sun. Standing in the shadows is a good way to avoid this blinding mistake.
