Details:
Moon reaches maximum ecliptic latitude in Taurus this Year.
Therefore, it's crossing Pleiades at the northernmost region. Next transits
across the star-cluster will occur slightly farther south. The series of
transits will end by the beginning of 2028.Next series will start in 2042.
The best conditions for observation on October 27/28 are from
the west of Europe and the eastern parts of North America. The animation shows
progress of occultations as they will be visible from three selected
locations - Lisbon (Portugal), Oslo (Norway) and Boston
(Massachusetts, US). Yellow circle in the graphic (day and
night) indicates the actual position of Sub-Lunar point on Earth.
