Bulan akan melintas di depan Venus dalam okultasi langka bulan Juni

Pengamat langit di beberapa wilayah Amerika akan berkesempatan melihat Venus menghilang di balik Bulan pada 17 Juni. Okultasi bulan ini merupakan salah satu dari beberapa peristiwa langit penting yang dijadwalkan terjadi bulan ini.

Peristiwa yang dikenal sebagai okultasi bulan ini akan terjadi saat Bulan melintas tepat di depan Venus. Pengamat di Amerika Serikat, Kanada, Brasil, dan Venezuela dapat melihat Venus menghilang dan muncul kembali dari balik Bulan. Di luar jalur sempit okultasi tersebut, banyak pengamat masih akan melihat Bulan dan Venus tampak sangat berdekatan. Fenomena ini dapat terjadi pada siang hari di beberapa lokasi. Venus dan Jupiter juga akan tampak berdekatan di sekitar tanggal 9 Juni, dengan Merkurius bergabung mulai 11 hingga 15 Juni untuk membentuk barisan tiga planet setelah matahari terbenam. Titik balik matahari bulan Juni pada 21 Juni pukul 01.24 Waktu Pasifik menandai dimulainya musim panas astronomis di Belahan Bumi Utara.
