When the moon passes between Earth and the planet or star in question, a phenomenon known as a lunar occultation occurs. The moon can eclipse or visibly block other planets and stars. The timing of lunar occultations varies depending on the specific celestial objects involved and their positions in the sky relative to Earth. Astronomical software or online tools can be used to calculate predictions for lunar occultations.
