The blocking of light from an astronomical object, such as a star, by another object, such as the Moon or an asteroid, that passes in front of it.

Determining the moment of stellar occultation by the Moon is used to improve our knowledge of the lunar orbit. Moreover, the occultation of stars by asteroids or planetary satellites provide important data for better measuring the sizes of the occulting bodies. See also → grazing occultation.

on-the-spot (OTS) approximation
  نزدینش ِ درجا

Fr.:   

An approximation in the treatment of photoionized → H II regions, whereby secondary ionizing photons are absorbed immediately very close to their site of emission. The secondary photons, produced by → radiative recombinations directly to the → ground states, are thus ignored with respect to the ionizing photons emitted by the → exciting star. The OTS approximation requires that the ionized gas be sufficiently dense so that secondary ionizing photons are very likely absorbed within the H II region.

on; → spot; → approximation.

Nazdineš, → approximation; dar "in," from Mid.Pers. andar, → intra-.

one-dimensional flow
  تچان ِ یک-وامونی   
tacân-e yek-vâmuni

At opposition the body has a solar → elongation of 180°, and is closest to the Earth. It will, in principle, be visible throughout the night.
