Saturn and the moon put on a celestial show Sunday night. Here's how to see it

A thin orange circle larger than the image circles a small three quarter moon and a point above labeled Saturn. to blue lines meet at an obtuse angle to the right of the moon.

Saturn gets close to the moon tonight, and skywatchers in Florida, northwestern South America, the Caribbean and Central America will see the ringed planet briefly disappear behind our lunar companion.

When a celestial body, such as a moon, planet or an asteroid passes in front of another celestial body, blocking its view, we call that an occultation. The word is derived from the Latin occultäre, to conceal or hide.
