We have much more precise tools now. But occultations of stars by asteroids and more distant solar system bodies remains a useful way of refining orbital data.Do planetary occultations help in calculating planetary orbits these days, or have we already got such precise knowledge that we don't need the measurements of exactly when there are occultations any more?
