Saturn/Moon Occultation on
November 30, 2001
On Friday November 30, 2001, the Moon slid in
front of the planet Saturn. This video has an overexposed Moon in order to
capture Saturn with more brightness. The fuzzy frames are the effects of
atmospheric turbulence. The quality of the image is greatly affected by
the steadiness of the atmosphere. The date on the video was incorrectly
recorded as 12-30-01. The date of the event was indeed 11-30-01.
