Yesterday, there was a special celestial event! I am sorry that I didn’t tell you all about this event. It’s the Pleiades occultation!. At first, let me tell you what is a occultation. Before I start, let me show you a photo of the Moon eclipses the Pleiades. 
An occultation in Astronomy is always linked with Moon. If I say the moon will occult Mars, it is meant that the Moon will eclipse the Mars. Let’s say an “eclipse” of the Mars. 
What about an Orion (a constellation) occultation? It is the Moon eclipses the Orion. So, do you get it?
What does the occultation offer to the astronomers? In the old days and nowadays, occultation helps astronomers to divide a binary star. Astronomers also spotted that the Moon doesn’t have any air. If it has an atmosphere, stars will be dimmed when the Moon moves near them.
Let’s back to the main topic. The occultation of Pleiades was happened from 9.30pm to 12.30pm (PST or GMT+8). I was planning to observe this amazing event but sadly, the sky was cloudy. Anyway, I found a photo gallery with 6 pictures of Pleiades occultation. Let’s enjoy them!
