A lunar occultation of Venus occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and Venus, causing the Moon to temporarily obscure Venus as seen from certain locations on Earth. This astronomical event is a type of occultation, which is when one celestial body moves in front of another, blocking it from view. During a lunar occultation, observers in specific regions on Earth will see Venus disappear behind the Moon's illuminated surface and then reappear as the Moon continues its orbit.
