ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY BY YASH XAVIER

The next image is the occultation of Mars
and the Moon. On April 17, 2021, another
virtual ‘trendy’ event was Occultation Day.
Occultation Day is when a planet goes
behind the Moon. (In this case it is Mars.)
But this time, as a planet was going behind
the Moon, different places in India had
different timings for the same event. This
event happens every 15 years on average!
