The Moon Grazes past Aldebaran

This is a sequence composite of the Occultation of Aldebaran along the graze line on Saturday, March 4, 2017. The graze line is a narrow geographic region along the edge the occultation visibility zone where the Moon will just graze past Aldebaran. This will allow for views of topographic features along along the edge of the Lunar disk that are usually not visible as Aldebaran passes behind them. The graze line passed through the University of Rhode Island campus in Kingston, RI.
