A video capture of Jupiter-Moon occultation moment from 15.07.2012.

There are 7 occultations in 2015, but only 6 of them are visible in Romania, because the other happens on during the day (except when the moon obscures the sun, a phenomenon called eclipse).

Here they are:

March 21, 2015 - Mars 0.6 ° N Moon at 22:13 GMT. Occultation.

June 15, 2015 - Mercury 0.0 ° N Moon at 02:26 GMT. Occultation.

July 19, 2015 - Venus 0.4 ° N Moon at 01:06 GMT. Occultation.

October 8, 2015 - Venus 0.7 ° N Moon at 20:32 GMT. Occultation.

October 11, 2015 - Mercury 1.0 ° N Moon at 12:00 GMT. Occultation.

December 6, 2015 - Mars 0.1 ° N Moon at 02:40 GMT. Occultation.

December 7, 2015 - Venus 0.7 ° N Moon at 16:55 GMT. Occultation.
