Last night there was an occultation of Saturn by the Moon.
This is not a very frequent event for which the moon, which has an orbital velocity different from the planets and the celestial sphere, "covers" (hidden) perspective is that a planet is to find aligned with the Moon and Earth. In this case it was Saturn.
We found ourselves at the bottom because of the Volunteer in Rozzano, now half of several astronomical events that do not require a very dark sky.
Several onlookers joined us, accompanied by their children for whom the experience was entusiasmente. We have covered letterelmente flurry of questions!
We had a telescope available for Visually observe the event, while other instruments the Moon resumed with the camera and a webcam.
put online soon some images.
