A moon hides another on Uranus

Oberon is a satellite of Uranus that can occult its neighbors during the planet's equinoxes. This phenomenon occurs every forty-two years, when the equatorial plane of Uranus aligns with that of the Earth. Such an eclipse took place on May 4, 2007, during which the occultation of Umbriel by Oberon lasted six minutes.
