Now the occultation of Mars by the Moon begins.

Congratulations to all the lucky ones who will be able to see the occultation of Mars by the moon, it will be on January 14 at 1:44 UTC until 5:52 UTC, compare this with the local time, because it varies in each country, It would be January 13 to 14.

The image shows the strip where you can see how the moon hides Mars, the planet Mars, it will be able to be seen in West Africa, in the United States practically completely, also almost in a large part of Mexico and obviously in Canada, this is A map showing that lunar occultation path of Mars.

It's going to be spectacular because the moon will practically be full, it will be at 99% and Mars is also very bright, which will be a very special moment. Of course this can be seen with the naked eye, but if you have binoculars or a telescope You will be able to enjoy it with more intensity, because Mars, as I said, is very spectacular these days.

As Portugal can barely see, the Rock of Gibraltar can barely be seen; It will not be a complete concealment in these places, of course in the rest of the places such as Central America, South America, Europe, etc., it will be a close pass, that is, it will not be a concealment, but it will be a close pass that is still very interesting both visually. as with binoculars or small telescopes, especially so that the moon and Mars fit in the field of vision.
