Mars in a Manger

NASA APOD · John Ambrose
COSMIC MESSAGE

In mid-April, Mars wandered remarkably close to Cancer's famous star cluster M44, the Beehive Cluster. M44 is also known as Praesepe, Latin for cradle or manger. This 60-second exposure from April 14 captures a yellow-tinged Mars and M44 in the same field of view. The Red Planet has been fading since its opposition in January, but still lingers in Cancer during April and May.
