      Explanation: What if Saturn disappeared? Sometimes, it does. It doesn't   
      really go away, though, it just disappears from view when our Moon   
      moves in front. Such a Saturnian eclipse, more formally called an   
      occultation, was visible along a long swath of Earth -- from Peru,   
      across the Atlantic Ocean, to Italy -- only a few days ago. The   
      featured color image is a digital fusion of the clearest images   
      captured during the event and rebalanced for color and relative   
      brightness between the relatively dim Saturn and the comparatively   
      bright Moon. Saturn and the comparative bright Moon. The exposures were   
      all taken from Breda, Catalonia, Spain, just before occultation.   
      Eclipses of Saturn by our Moon will occur each month for the rest of   
      this year. Each time, though, the fleeting event will be visible only   
      to those with clear skies -- and the right location on Earth.
