Observe the Skies Near Mars
The path of Mars during the last five months of 2020. Notice the retrograde motion from September 10 to November 16, with prime Mars observing time found in between. October 6 is the day of closest approach of Earth and Mars, “just” 38.6 million miles apart.

October is a banner month for Mars observers! Mars is very bright this month, and astronomers are eager to observe the red planet. However, don’t forget to look at the space around Mars; by doing so, you can observe the planet's remarkable retrograde motion and find a few nearby objects that you may otherwise overlook. Find out more about this incredibly bright star in this edition of NASA's Night Sky Notes! [ PDF]
