18 States Will See Regulus Swallowed by the Moon Saturday: Exact Times

On Saturday evening, the Moon will pass in front of Regulus, briefly hiding the bright star from view.

The occultation will be visible in parts of 18 eastern U.S. states, along with Mexico and northern South America.

Some locations will see a full disappearance and reappearance, while others will only get a close pass or grazing event.

The rare alignment offers a clear, time-specific viewing opportunity for skywatchers, with binoculars helpful in some areas.
