Amman, Oct. 12 (Petra) — Mars appeared among the stars of the
Praesepe Cluster, widely known as the Beehive Cluster, in Jordan’s
skies early Monday at 3:45 a.m., displaying its distinctive red
colour against the backdrop of the constellation Cancer.
Ammar Al-Sakaji, president of the Jordanian Astronomical Society,
told the Jordan News Agency (Petra) that the Beehive Cluster is one
of the best-known open star clusters, located approximately 600
light-years from Earth.
He explained that Mars appears in front of the cluster’s stars from
the perspective of observers on Earth, creating a striking celestial
scene that brings a planet in the Solar System into view against a
backdrop of distant stars.
