Occultation of Venus by the Moon - updated

by Simon at 17:48 01/12/08 (Blogs::Simon)

The clouds parted for the briefest of periods this afternoon and allowed me to grab a photo of Venus about to be occulted by the Moon.

... and later they parted again, just in time to see Venus emerge from behind the Moon once again.
