Mars in View
NASA APOD · Jean-Luc Dauvergne
COSMIC MESSAGE
Very good telescopic views of Mars can be expected in the coming weeks as the Red Planet nears opposition on December 24th. Opposition means Mars is opposite the Sun in Earth's sky, an arrangement that occurs every 26 months. Due to Mars' more elliptical orbit, the actual date of closest approach to Earth will be December 18. At that time, Mars will be within about 88 million kilometers of our planet, situated in the constellation Gemini.
