 Occultation of Mars by the Moon

   Summary Author:  Tomas Slovinsky
   Shown above is the  occultation of  Mars by the  Moon that I
   captured from my home in Kosice, Slovakia on the  morning of
   December 8, 2022. My camera was set to a focal length of 1.400 mm.
   Notice that the Red Planet appears redder and the Moon more orange on
   the right side of this multisequence image since both were nearing the
   horizon, where  increasing path-length acts to extinguish the
   shorter wavelength colors in the visible spectrum (green, blue,
   violet).
