Occultation Comet tale.

[Mick]

This is an Occultation that maybe of interest, I don't know if we will be able to see much but I thought it was an worth posting. 9P/Tempel (Tempel 1) will be occulted by the Moon on the 15/07/05 the Comet will be covered by the Moons dark limb around 22:00 local time. This is only 11 day after the Deep Impact projectile smashes into Tempel 1, that’s if it is on target. Here's a link to some more info about the event.

But if it is blown to Kazooie there might not be anything left to occult the Moon!
