Explanation:
Aldebaran, eye of Taurus the Bull,
and a young crescent Moon shared an early evening sky last Friday.
The lovely celestial pairing could be enjoyed around planet Earth,
but from some locations the Moon was even seen to pass in front of
Aldebaran, a dramatic lunar occultation
of the familiar bright star.
Taken at nightfall on April 28, this skyscape captures Aldebaran shortly
after it emerged from behind the bright lunar limb.
In the foreground are craggy peaks of the Dolomite mountains near
Laggio di Cadore, Italy.
Before reappearing beyond the sunlit crescent, Aldebaran first winked
out behind the Moon's
ashen glow, the lunar nightside faintly
illuminated by earthshine.
