When a celestial body passes in front of a star, it creates a temporary shadow on the Earth's surface. This shadow is known as the umbra, and it's within this region that the star appears to disappear. The duration of the occultation can vary from a few seconds to several minutes, depending on the size of the celestial body and its distance from the Earth.

The night sky has always been a source of fascination for humans. The twinkling stars, the majestic constellations, and the mysteries of the universe have captivated our imagination for centuries. One of the most intriguing aspects of stargazing is the phenomenon of star subs, also known as star occultations or star disappearances.

A star sub, also referred to as a magic star sub, is an event in which a star appears to disappear or subside from view. This occurs when the moon, a planet, or another celestial body passes in front of a star, blocking our line of sight to it. This event is also known as a stellar occultation.
