23 July 2025

The crescent of the moon and the planet Jupiter appear close together in the sky near sunrise in Molfetta, Italy, on July 23, 2025. This event, often called a celestial ''kiss'' or ''embrace,'' describes the maximum apparent approach between two bright bodies in the Earth's sky: in this case, the thin crescent of the waning Moon and the brilliant planet Jupiter, which dominate the northeast horizon in the very early morning hours.

4 January 2025

Moon creating a lunar occultation of Saturn visible from Europe, Africa, western Russia, and eastern Greenland is seen through a telescope from Castelvecchio Calvisio (L’Aquila), Italy, on January 4th, 2025. Lunar occultations are relatively rare events where the Moon passes directly between Earth and another celestial object, temporarily obscuring it from view. This particular occultation offered a unique opportunity to observe the "ringed planet" disappearing behind the Moon and reemerging later.
