A little after 9 pm on September 28 the 28% lit Moon will again occult
the first magnitude star Antares, a Sco. This occultation should be
visible to the unaided eye and a spectacular event viewed through
binoculars or a telescope. It will be visible from all of New Zealand
except the extreme north of Northland where a grazing occultation will
cross the island about 25 km southeast of Cape Reinga.
