Definition for one celestial body obscures another

The term "one celestial body obscures another" refers to the phenomenon in astronomy where a celestial object such as a planet or a moon passes in front of or moves in between another celestial body, temporarily blocking its view from an observer's perspective. This event, known as an occultation, occurs when the closer object - the occulting body - casts a shadow or obstructs the light coming from the more distant object, causing it to briefly disappear or become partially obscured. Occultations provide valuable opportunities for scientists and astronomers to study the properties, dimensions, and composition of both the occulting and occulted celestial bodies.
