NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“The Moon's Saturn” is copyrighted by Jens Hackmann. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

The Moon passed in front of Saturn on May 22nd, an event called an occultation, visible over parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia. Such events are not uncommon since the Moon and planets orbit near the ecliptic plane. This image captures Saturn emerging from behind the Moon, creating a dramatic visual.
