If you noticed a star dancing with the moon last night, you witnessed a rather rare occultation between Aldebaran and the moon. “Occultation” describes how Aldebaran was briefly “hidden behind” the moon.

Wait.. Didn't Grand Moff Tarkin blow up Alderbaran or was that Alderaan?


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

Last night I notice a lot dancers, but seems like ballerinas, all dressed with silky white clouds.
A totally white or partly pinkish sky...

Good informative post though and thanks for sharing.
