Planet Eclipse
Will the moon eclipse the planet Venus within the next 24 hours?
Woke up to a beautiful clear morning (6AM CDT, Monday Feb 28) with crescent moon and the planet Venus off to the southeast. I estimate the separation of about 10 degrees. Just guessing from the alignment, I would think sometime in the next 24 hour that the moon will eclipse Venus. I am just going off of a rough estimate, but will this eclipse happen? If so, approximately where would this eclipse take place?
Thank you for the correction of terminology.
No, the "eclipse", as you call it, will not happen. When you see the Moon and Venus tomorrow, the Moon will have scooted about 8 degrees past Venus in the 24 hours since this morning.
This sort of blocking you are looking for is called occultation. It is a somewhat common occurance with the Moon and other planets.
