Details:
Betelgeuse eclipsed by asteroid 319 Leona. First image at 01:11:29 UT shows Betelgeuse in its full brightness, while the second image at 01:11:42 UT (at event maximum) has Betelgeuse dimmed two full magnitudes at least, but did not disappear. Apparently this was some kind of an annular eclipse, as Leona could not cover Betelgeuse completely.
