Moon & Venus closest together on 16 May 10

On Sunday 16 May 2010, from 7.37pm to 8.05pm, you will get the chance to see Venus closing in to the Moon just below the thin crescent. This astronomy event only happen once every 10 years & its call "月掩金星".

We lucky people here together with those in Malaysia, Hong Kong & GuangZhou China get to see it. The next time it occur again will be in 2023. The process will start at 7.37pm where you can see Venus slowly closing the Moon & reaches the Moon thin crescent at 8.01pm.

Any stars watcher / photographer going to catch this?
