The 2007-2008 Uranus Ring Plane Crossings

The Sun and Earth passed through Uranus’ ring plane in 2007 and 2008, providing a unique opportunity to observe Uranus’ rings and smallest satellites. The edge-on viewing geometry also permitted the timing of satellite eclipses and mutual events that can be used to improve ephemerides.
