Get your binoculars out! On Saturday (Jan. 4), skywatchers in the U.K. and most of Western and Central Europe will be able to see Saturn vanish behind the crescent moon — an event known as a lunar occultation. There are only two lunar occultations of Saturn in 2025, so you won't want to miss this stunning event.
To get the best viewing experience, choose a location that's away from artificial light and allow about half an hour for your eyes to adjust to the dark.
