From most of the world, the waning moon shines near the bright star Regulus Sunday morning. From much of the U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean and southeast Canada, the moon will pass in front of Regulus.
On this map from the International Occultation Timing Association (IOTA), everyplace in between the solid white lines sees the occultation in a nighttime (predawn) sky. Meanwhile, the short blue lines indicate where the occultation happens at dawn and the red dotted lines where the occultation occurs in daytime.
Photographer John Nelson used NASA's SpotTheStation website to learn when the International Space Station would make a high pass in his sky. This image is the result.
