The sky on
your birthday.
“Mars Opposition” is copyrighted by NASA. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteTonight, Mars is at its brightest, opposite the Sun in the sky. It is also near its closest approach to Earth, making it ideal for telescopic observation, despite a dust storm. These two Hubble Space Telescope images compare Mars near its 2016 and 2018 oppositions. The 2016 image shows a clear atmosphere, while the 2018 image, taken just days ago, shows surface features obscured by dust.
