Solar/Planetary Occultation-Thread

Anyone interested in a Thread about Planetary Occultation?

What is Occultation?
Planets/Moons overlapping each other or the parent Star.
Stuff like this:
Saturn's Rhea and Dione

Io over Jupiter

Why to start such a thread?
Because I saw my first Kerbin Eclipse accompanied by the Mun and I was wondering what awesome Screenshots might be out there on the Topic.
So feel free to post them :) (Mods are allowed)

Here it goes:

The following are not the best of images, but I thought it was a pretty neat event to witness. I happened to catch Laythe eclipsing the Sun while my probe was descending through the atmosphere of Jool. Right next to Laythe is another moon, but I don't remember if it was Vall or Tylo. The descent almost lasted long enough for the second moon to also eclipse the sun, but my probe imploded just before first contact. The big dark spot is the heat shield of my probe.

Several versions ago I caught Eve slipping behind Kerbin from Kerbin orbit with the Tarsier tech space telescope. Edited by Aethon
