All times given in these predictions are in Universal Time. Predictions included both disappearance and reappearance times, although depending on the phase of the moon, one or the other may not be possible to observe at the instant of the event. When Moon % is "+" (waxing), the star will disappear on the dark side, and reappearance is on the bright side; when the Moon % is "-" (waning), the star will reappear on the dark side, and disappearance on the bright side. Observing disappearances and reappearance of stars on the bright side are difficult, and accuracies in timing these events are not reliable.

All predictions and charts were generated using Occult v4.0.1.5

Note: Starting with 2009 predictions, cities will be prefixed with their 2 letter country code. Those for the United States will also include the 2 letter state code after the city. For a complete listing of the 2 letter country codes used in the predictions please download this PDF file for reference. For those wanting the longitude and latitude of the cities used in the prediction process for converting times to your location, please download this zip file for reference.
