Rare Astronomical Phenomenon 'Moon Occultation of Spica' Visible across Taiwan this Friday Night

Reported 7 months ago

On June 14th, from 9:31 p.m. to 10:44 p.m., Taiwan will witness the 'Moon occultation of Spica' phenomenon, where the moon will obscure the bright star 'Spica' in the Virgo constellation. This event is one of the most easily observable moon occultations this year, offering a great opportunity for stargazers. 'Spica' is a prominent star in ancient star charts symbolizing the division between the celestial and the common. It will be a particularly clear and interesting observation as it occurs in the evening, making it accessible to observation with small telescopes. The phenomenon is considered rare, as specific conditions need to be met for observation. This Friday night presents an excellent opportunity not to be missed for observing this celestial event.
