Stellar Occultations
Not some mystical exploration of the supernatural or the occult, stellar occultations are about as natural as you can get without eating a bowlful of Grape Nuts. Whether you're studying the atmosphere of Pluto or Titan, the rings of Saturn, or the shape of Ultima Thule, that flickering of light as the star discretely and temporarily slips from view carries worlds of information. Literally. Because you're looking at a world. As it occults a star. Stellar Occultations: sometimes what's missing is more important than what's there.
