The red heart of Scoripius, Antares, will be covered by the Moon in the early evening of August 4 in South Africa, and the early morning of 5 August in Western Australia. The occultation track with UT timings is here.

In Cape Town, Antares will disappear behind the dark side of the Moon at 6:22 pm (4th) local time, and reappear from the bright side at 7:29 pm.

In Perth, Antares will disappear behind the dark side of the Moon at 2:33 am (5th) local time, and the Moon sets before Antares reappears.
