在這張合成天體照片中,火星在地球的夜空中游蕩,經過昴宿星團以南約 5 度處。這幅天象圖是由從 7 月 12 日開始連續 16 個晴朗夜晚拍攝的一系列影像合成的。火星從最右側開始穿過視場,火星的紅潤色調與藍色的昴宿星團形成鮮明對比。在遙遠恆星的襯托下,這顆來自太陽的第四顆行星以更快的速度劃過天空,輕而易舉地超過了第七顆行星天王星,天王星也在這個視場中移動。 7 月 16 日,紅色行星火星和冰巨行星天王星緊密相合,相距約 1 / 2 度。火星繼續快速東行,現在已經把姊妹星和外行星甩在了身後,經過了紅巨星奧爾德巴蘭的北面。 8 月 14 日,火星將進入木星在地球天空中約 1 / 3 度的範圍內。
原文:As Mars wanders through Earth's night, it passes about 5 degrees south of the Pleiades star cluster in this composite astrophoto. The skyview was constructed from a series of images captured over a run of 16 consecutive clear nights beginning on July 12. Mars' march across the field of view begins at the far right, the planet's ruddy hue. showing a nice contrast with the blue Pleiades stars. Moving much faster across the sky against the distant stars, the fourth planet from the Sun easily passes seventh planet Uranus, also moving across this field of view. Red planet Mars and the ice giant world were in close conjunction, about 1/2 degree apart, on July 16. Continuing its rapid eastward trek, Mars has now left the sister stars and outer planet behind though, passing north of red giant star Aldebaran. Mars will come within about 1/3 degree of Jupiter in planet Earth's sky on August 14.
