What is a dimming of light from one heavenly body to another?

Occultation - when a bright object (like a star) is hidden behind a dark object (like a planet). Super-sensitive light-detectors in the Kepler Space Telescope can even detect the minuscule dimming of a star being occulted by a planet of that distant solar system. Using this method, we've detected hundreds, perhaps thousands, of "extra-solar" planets. In fact, it begins to seem that half or more of all stars might have SOME kind of planets orbiting them.
