Rare celestial treat - Moon to eclipse Venus on Sept 14

10 Sept 11:22 Key points summarised by AI

Stargazers in Thailand are set to witness a rare lunar occultation on Sept 14, as the Moon passes directly in front of Venus, creating a spectacular celestial eclipse.
The event will commence around 7:28 PM (Bangkok time), visible low in the western sky with the naked eye, though observers in Thailand will not see its conclusion as both bodies set by 8:24 PM.
Lunar occultations of Venus are infrequent and regionally specific, providing astronomers with valuable data for measuring celestial diameters, distances, and analyzing planetary atmospheres.
For optimal viewing, NARIT recommends open spaces with unobstructed western horizons and will host free public observation sessions at regional observatories.
