Lunar occultation of Neptune

The Moon will pass in front of Neptune, creating a lunar occultation visible from Africa, Asia, western Russia and Europe. Although the occultation will only be visible
across part of the world – because the Moon is so close to the Earth that its position in the sky varies by as much as two degrees across the world – a close conjunction
between the pair will be more widely visible.
