An occultation of Elnath, (Beta Tauri) happens within the early morning of Sunday August 9.
That is finest seen from the east coast. For Mebourne and Hobart, the Moon occults Elnath when it is extremely low, so egress could also be higher for remark.Western Australia sees a detailed method. The Moon is previous final quarter low within the japanese sky for simple binocular/telescope remark, though telescope is finest
