Grazing Occultations.
Cunningham, Doug; Hlynialuk, John
Physics Teacher, v21 n4 p218-23 Apr 1983
A "grazing occultation" occurs when a star or other astronomical body is covered up by the extreme northern or southern limb of the moon in its easterly motion about the earth. Graze phenomena, organizing a graze expedition, and the scientific/educational value of observing grazes are among the topics discussed. (JN)
