Lunar Occultation of Jupiter in Brazilian Skies

[hukadarn]

On the day 25/12 the Moon occulted the planet Jupiter in the brazilian skies. Jupiter reappearing at 00:01 UTC, the video shows this moment The phenomenon could be observed in almost all of brazilian territory.

Below my video of emersion Jupiter (time in which it comes out of occultation). Unfortunately my telescope

was misaligned and could not rely tracking. But I thought the result was pretty good.

More images and videos of others brazilian amateur (and professional) astronomers:

Lovely job Carlos ,

Not an easy thing to capture, we had one here last year but typically the cloud prevented viewing.

Wonderful footage, bearing in mind that 48000 Moons would fit inside Jupiter, mind-boggling stuff...
