RASNZ Occultation Section - Berbericia Occultation Update (729 words)
Note: The duration given in the line below is the interval during which the occultation shadow sweeps across the Earth - please see the minute markers on the map to determine the approximate time for your location.
On 2005 May 15 UT, the 151 km diameter asteroid (776) Berbericia will occult a 12.6 mag star in the constellation Coma Berenices for observers along a path across Pacific Ocean.
In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and the star will drop by 1.1 mag to 13.3 mag (the magnitude of the asteroid) for at most 16.1 seconds.
