Explanation:
Rising in the dark hours before dawn, wandering Venus now shines as the
brilliant morning star. Its close conjunction with the Moon on August 13 was
appreciated around planet Earth. But skygazers in eastern Asia were also
treated to a lunar occultation, the waning crescent Moon passing directly in
front of the bright planet in still dark skies. This composite image
constructed from frames made at 10 minute intervals follows the celestial
performance (vimeo video) from above the city lights and clouds over Taebaek,
Korea. The occultation begins near the horizon and progresses as the pair
rises. Venus first disappears behind the Moon's sunlit crescent, emerging
before dawn from the dark lunar limb.
