Members catch last Jupiter occultation of series Jupiter was hidden again by the Moon in the early hours of February 23. Several members witnessed it, although others including the Director were thwarted by bad weather including snow! If you mised it, there is a very long wait until the whole of the UK is able to see the Moon engulf Jupiter in the night sky again. It takes place at 22h 33m on 21st November, 2034!
