Abstract

The upcoming epoch of rare events—that of mutual occultations and eclipses in the system of the major Uranian satellites—is reported. Such epochs last for four years and occur every 43 years. The ephemerides and circumstances for the events occurring during the 2006–2010 epoch are computed. The uniqueness and importance of observations of these events are emphasized.
