Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Honeyfall

👉 Honeyfall is a term used in the field of astronomy to describe the phenomenon of a planet passing directly between two stars at a particular time, causing an apparent drop in brightness. This event is usually observed when both stars are very close together and the planet passes directly over them, resulting in a bright spot appearing on either side of the star. The term "honeyfall" was coined by astronomer Edward T. Whipple in 1873 to describe this phenomenon.
