Yes, it is true. The TARDIS is in the asteroid belt and will occult a mag 4.6 star at around 3:17am Saturday 17th February. The catch is you need to be in a zone from north eastern Tasmania, west of Melbourne, East of Adelaide and West of Port Augusta. The uncertainty for this event is quite large so observers even 150 km either side of the path are encouraged to participate.
