Difference between Coronagraph and Occultation

Coronagraph vs. Occultation

A coronagraph is a telescopic attachment designed to block out the direct light from a star so that nearby objects – which otherwise would be hidden in the star's bright glare – can be resolved. An occultation is an event that occurs when one object is hidden by another object that passes between it and the observer.

Similarities between Coronagraph and Occultation

Coronagraph and Occultation have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Minute and second of arc, Moon, New Worlds Mission, Solar eclipse, Star, Telescope.

Minute and second of arc

A minute of arc, arcminute (arcmin), arc minute, or minute arc is a unit of angular measurement equal to of one degree.

New Worlds Mission

The New Worlds Mission is a proposed project comprising a large occulter flying in formation designed to block the light of nearby stars in order to observe their orbiting exoplanets.

Solar eclipse

A solar eclipse (as seen from the planet Earth) is a type of eclipse that occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and when the Moon fully or partially blocks ("occults") the Sun.
