This is the bright star Regulus near the Moon, after reappearing from behind the Moon following tonight's occultation. The Moon covered the star for just over one hour.

I've just watched the Moon occult (pass in front of) the bright star Regulus in a bright twilight sky. The star suddenly disappeared behind the dark limb of the Moon. This was despite patchy cirrus cloud.

Grazing lunar #occultation of 6.4 magnitude star #ZC797 from Wolfsdonk (Langdorp - B) at 21:35 UT March 24, 2026. Vixen 11 cm refractor + iPhone16

Still worth it on the west coast even if #occultation is visible Eastern and Central.

Stacking of a movie taken with a Seestar S50 shows Regulus reappearing behind the moon at around 10:05 pm EST. Luckily, the S50 was able to capture it at low exposure and gain settings.

Zoom in of Regulus reappearing behind the moon.

Regulus (alpha Leonis, magnitude 1.4), the brightest star in Leo, subtly reappears after its lunar occultation on Feb. 2, 2026. Video stacked with #seestar S50.

Opaque tarps are tough enough for multiple uses, from protecting things from the rain to being used as a slip 'n slide in the summer.

After the total lunar #eclipse finishes on Sunday, just after 10 pm, the Moon will pass in front of mag 4.31, naked eye star Phi-Aquarii, occulting it. Due to the brightness of the full Moon, the #occultation will not be visible, but the approach should be with binoculars or telescope.

A year ago today, 21 Aug '24 I was up at stupid o'clock to image the #LunarOccultation of #Saturn. I was battling thin cloud, low altitude & dawn light so I was glad to have managed to get these images of Saturn's egress. I made a howler of ingress! #Moon #Occultation

How can we be a true waiting person during the occultation?

A true waiter should prepare themselves by strengthening faith, recognizing the signs of appearance, and fulfilling religious obligations.
