leona

It appears that astronomers are already preparing for the upcoming occultation of 319 Leona with Betelgeuse.

Then there's my all-time favorite quote, of Leona Helmsley: >Only the little people pay taxes.

Size of Leona is uncertain, hence the expected magnitude of the decrease in brightness of Betelgeuse as a result of occultation was uncertain.

Really like the song he wrote for Leona Lewis.

And we get to enjoy the pleasant tunes of Leona Lewis.

> On 12 December 2023 Leona will occult Betelgeuse as seen from southern Europe.

Here we present observations of another occultation by Leona on 13 September 2023 to determine its projected shape and size in preparation for the December 12th event.

> a previous occultation of Leona in September 2023 Seems contradictory.

Both the Earth and Leona are going around the Sun, so the shadow sweeps across the surface of the Earth, taking about 18 minutes to go from Mexico to China, and effectively never coming back.

> An occultation of a 1st-magnitude star is rare — such an event is visible from Earth only every few decades and > That changed on September 13, 2023: In advance of the December event, Leona occulted another object, this time of a 12th-magnitude star.

There have been some exceptions, such as Leona Helmsley bequeathing part of her estate to her dog, but just as with infants or mentally unfit humans who may possess rights of ownership but not understand them well enough to make appropriate decisions regarding disposition, that money was put into a trust.

> On 12 December 2023 at about 01:09–01:27 UT, Leona will occult Betelgeuse as seen from southern Europe, Turkey, Greece and Sicily.[14] The 14th magnitude asteroid will occult Betelgeuse (block or reduce the light) for about 12 seconds.

To paraphrase Leona Helmsley - "We don't obey laws; only the little people obey laws."

But to paraphrase Leona Helmsley, "only the little people need to follow laws".

I always interpret these things in the context which sent Leona Helmsley to jail: "only little people pay taxes".

Trump is not little people, but he's somehow managed to express things in ways that "little" people (using Leona's terminology, not my own) like.

The recording of the meeting discussing the presentation [0] notes three issues with occlusions by Leona: 1.

If it means anything, I still remember APictureOfAGoose's Jarvan/Leona bot lane play.

Researchers in this July 2023 presentation note: > Leona’s Long Rotation Period (430h) complicates determination of its size and shape.
