Precisely what object did you see occult the moon last Saturday?

It would have to be as large as (please... don't shooot) Planet X to occult
the moon.

(joke... it's a joke...)

....my English dictionary calles it "occultation". May be lunar eclipse is better?
Tell me, whats the correct expression. *no joke*

Hi Markus,

Eclipse is better. An occultation is when one body passes in front of
another. An eclipse is when the shadow of one body falls on another. Of
course if you were standing on the Sun, then an eclipse would, in fact, be
an occultation of the Moon by the Earth.

Not that we're consistent with those proper definitions. A solar
"eclipse" is in fact an occultation. But a lunar eclipse is, indeed, a
real eclipse.

Point well taken. I was only thinking of a lunar eclipse.
