Planet Venus emerges from behind The Moon: A Lunar Occultation

Astrophotographer Maximilian-Vlad Teodorescu: ". . .  the emergence of Venus from behind the Moon. A daytime event, requiring a lot of luck with the massive clouds rolling in."

The Moon just occulted Venus. The event was visible from India to Europe.

Occultation refers to the process where a celestial body, such as a star or planet, temporarily obscures another body, allowing astronomers to study its properties.
