Occultation Comet tale.

[Mick (Michael)]

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.

Thanks Mick. Another interesting occulation catch for the Queenslanders and the Territorians

Sounds good Paul ... lets hope its better than the conjunction tonite

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