This will be visible from India. I have not tried to find <br /> occurrances for other nations or locations. <br /> From my place - Pune- INDIA- Saturn will "Enter" the Crab Nebula around <br /> 19:45 p.m. and slowly move over it till the next morning. Titan will <br /> follow Saturn and will enter the Crab by early morning. <br /> The occultation will continue until the next evening and Saturn will leave <br /> this area by 20:00 hrs of 5th January. Titan will be still in the region and <br /> will at the center at about 23:00 Hrs. Titan will leave the area by early <br /> morning. <br /> <br /> Suhas Gurjar <br /> President <br /> Jyotirvidya Parisanstha <br /> (58 years Amateur Astronomers Association of India) <br /> Pune <br /> <br />
