Mutual Planetary Occultations - Have They Ever Been Observed?
JOA 2022, Vol. 12, No. 1, Page 24 Author(s): Marek ZawilskiAbstract: Mutual occultations of planets are extremely rare phenomena. In the past, only a few of them were definitely observed and the only certain observations were made in 1737, when the use of telescopes became possible. The article discusses the results of these observations and reconstructs their circumstances thanks to modern computational methods.
