Mars will be visible to the naked eye by a star cluster in the constellation of Taurus.
While observing the Red Planet's closest approach, there will be a bunch of stars that are roughly the size of a thumb above Mars and to the left. Mars will be moving to the left after Saturday.
A pair of binoculars can easily be used to see NGC1746. When Mars is close to the star cluster, it can be seen with binoculars. On Saturday, the two are close enough to use a telescope.
You can see what you can see tonight.
The star cluster will be visible in the dawn sky over New York and will reach an altitude of 72 above the southern horizon. The length of a fist is around 10 degrees. The full moon in the sky is larger than the full moon in the sky.
There is a debate about the nature of the New General Catalogue, which was first described by German astronomer Heinrich Louis d'Arrest in 1863.
It has been considered open for a long time. An open cluster is a collection of a few thousand stars that were formed when dense patches of cold gas collapsed.
There is now some doubt as to whether this is the case, with many astronomer suggesting that it is a random association of unrelated stars against a dense background starfield. An asterism is a type of astronomy that is related to the stars.
A asterism is a collection of stars that are associated only by their positions in the night sky above Earth. Some stars in an asterism can be found in space, while others can be seen from our point of view.
Some asterisms are small and simple while others are large and complex. One of the most famous examples of an asterism is the Big Dipper, which is made up of seven stars.
Mars will reach its closest distance to Earth in December of 2022.
