Sky Pattern


Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day is a multiple exposure image (over time) of the pattern that Mars traces across the sky. The Earth moves around the Sun, Mars moves around the Sun, and the interplay causes Mars (or the other planets) to appear to dance back and forth in our sky.

"Mouseover" the image in the link for a constellation guide.
