" . . . Occultation Pages suggests that observers in the shadow path will see "the star fade over a period of several tenths of a second, probably will not disappear completely, and then will recover its full brightness over another several tenths of a second." However, it also suggests that a half-second drop in brightness may be observable for those standing near the edge of the path. . . . "
