Saturnus May 22 2007 reappears after occultation by the Moon. Video was made by a18cm Astro Physics 180EDT, aMeade 5000 3x Barlow and aToUcam2. Some afterprocessing was done, to push the brightness of the faint Saturn to match that of the Moon. The video passes twice as fast as it was in reality.

See U2's Bono and the Edge Play Surprise Acoustic Set in Kyiv Bomb Shelter
President [Zelensky] invited us to perform in Kyiv as a show of solidarity with the Ukrainian people and so thats what weve come to do, U2 duo said
Following a personal invitation from Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky, U2s Bono and the Edge visited Kyiv Sunday to perform an acoustic concert in one of the citys subway stations-turned-bomb shelters.
The people in Ukraine are not just fighting for your own freedom, you are fighting for all of us who love freedom, Bono told the audience, which included soldiers. We pray that you will enjoy some of that peace soon.
According to the Irish Times, the set included performances of U2 hits like With or Without You, Desire, Angel of Harlem, Vertigo and a rendition of Ben E. Kings Stand By Me that replaced the titular Me with Ukraine.
Throughout the intimate set, the U2 duo were joined on their makeshift stage by Ukrainian musicians thrust into military duty due to Russias invasion; singer Taras Topolya from the Ukrainian band Antytila were among those singing alongside Bono.
