  • Moon Glides by Bright Star, Mars Next Week Before Dawn 22 July 2011
    Moon glides by bright star, Mars next week before dawn 22 July 2011 winter sky. Mars doesn't generate any light on its own. Instead, like the Moon, it shines by reflecting sunlight. The light strikes a surface that is painted in varying shades of orange, yellow, gray, and black. Most of the orange and yellow are produced by fine-grained dust that contains a lot of iron oxide, better known as rust. As Mars grows brighter later in the year, its color will appear to grow more intense. By year's end, you'll see why it is called the Red Planet, as Mars provides one of the most vivid spots of color in the night sky. Published bi-monthly by The University of Texas at (PhysOrg.com) -- The Moon puts on a great show Austin McDonald Observatory, StarDate magazine before dawn next week as it passes by a bright provides readers with skywatching tips, skymaps, star and planet, according to the editors of beautiful astronomical photos, astronomy news and StarDate magazine. features, and a 32-page Sky Almanac each January.

The Moon shines next to Mars in the east at Observatory the same time the following morning. Both Mars and Aldebaran glow orange, but right now Aldebaran is about twice as bright as Mars.
