theweaselkingJupiter to play peek-a-boo on Tuesday
A rare and spectacular event will occur in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Dec. 7 when the brilliant planet Jupiter and three of its largest satellites pass behind Earth's Moon.
Astronomers refer to this phenomenon as an "occultation," taken from the Latin occultare, which means to conceal. This eye-catching sight will be visible in complete darkness across all of eastern and much of central North America.
