OT: Moon occults Venus today

[Kenneth Brody]

For those who are interested in such astronomical things, the Moon will occult
(pass in front of) Venus later today.

It starts at around 3:20PM on the US east coast, and 12:30PM on the  
west coast.
(Unfortunately, for us east coasters, we won't get to see Venus emerge  
from the
other side about an hour later, as it will be after moonset.)  Times and other
info can be found here:

To our Aussie friends, sorry, it won't be visible there at all, as it's before
moonrise.
