Hi all,<br /><br />This is the first time in Homo Sapiens history that our species'instruments enable us to observe Uranian moons cross-occultations. Oberon passed in front of the moon Umbriel on 4 May. 321 total occultations and eclipses of the Uranian satellites to come for this Uranian season (Earth in Uranian plane). Some discoveries from ground expected...<br />Without a space mission, that is better than nothing -sigh!-<br />Does anybody know whether valuable science is really expected from these Earth-based observations or is this overhyped?<br /><br />http://space.newscientist.com/article/dn11891-uranus-moons-seen-overtaking-each-other-for-first-time.html<br /><br />regards
