| Description | The occultation of the multiple star Beta Scorpii by Jupiter was observed visually and photographically from the Bosscha Observatory in Lembang (Java), Indonesia, on May 13, 1971. The photographs recorded the dimming of the stars as the light was differentially refracted by the Jovian atmosphere, and gave support to a scale height greater than 8 km. Measurement of the position of the brightest component at Beta Scorpii during ingress shown refraction of approximately 1.4 sec before becoming unobservable. |
