The partial or total blocking of one object in space by another is known as an "occultation" when referring to celestial bodies. This phenomenon occurs when one object passes in front of another from the observer's perspective, temporarily obscuring it. For example, a planet may occult a star, making the star temporarily invisible. Such events are valuable for astronomers as they can reveal information about the objects involved, such as their size and atmosphere.
