webfact Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Stargazers in Thailand and worldwide will have an ideal opportunity to view Mars, as it will approach a distance of about 81.5 million kilometres from Earth, which is the closest it will come this year, according to the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT). Mars will appear at its largest since 2020, reaching an apparent size of 17.2 arcseconds (an angular measurement equal to 1/3600 of a degree) across, dropping only to 17.1 at opposition on December 8th. On December 8th, Mars will lie directly opposite the Sun, with Earth nestled in between. This arrangement is such that Mars rises at sunset and stays illuminated in reddish orange throughout the night, before setting at sunrise. This means thatthere is plenty of time to dodge clouds and stargazers will geta good look at it, according to NARIT.

TKDfella Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 On the 10th at around 7 p.m. Mars will be in the constellation of Taurus at an elevation of 24-25o The bright star Aldebaran won't be that far from Mars on the right (in planar view that is.) At an elevation of around 40o will the Pleiades (Seven Sisters) cluster and they will make a triangle with Aldebaran and Mars. A star brighter than Aldebaran, Capella, will be on left of Mars and these three will almost make 'a line' across the sky. The constellation of Orion will be just above the horizon.
