Uranus was obscured from the sky for over an hour tonight during a lunar occultation of Uranus. I captured this image moments after Uranus reappeared from behind the darkened limb of the waning gibbous Moon. The Moon was overexposed (sacrificing some detail) to reveal the distant planet as a tiny blue dot to the right of our brilliantly bright natural satellite.
