NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day
2023 April 15 - When Z is for Mars
In today's image, we see images of Mars as it was going through its retrograde motion in 2022-2023. This motion occurs when Earth overtakes Mars in its orbit and passes it, making Mars appear briefly to move backwards through the sky.
