Cover boundary Aldebaran by the Moon

Cover boundary Aldebaran by the Moon

The moon moving across the sky very often covers any stars, but most of them are weak and difficult to see with the naked eye. Cover the bright stars occur much less frequently. On your way you will encounter the moon four bright stars, named Regulus, Antares, Spica, and Aldebaran. April 21 evening will go next to Aldebaran.



Covering boundary occurs when the viewpoint of the observer on Earth, the moon is approaching an object (in this case Aldebaran) at a very small distance, so that it appears that the object "slides" along the edge of the moon. As the surface of the moon are the mountains and low-lying areas, the star can be overlapped and then exposing repeatedly.
