Summary
DescriptionApparent retrograde motion of Mars in 2003.gif |
English: Animation of the night sky showing the apparent retrograde motion of the planet Mars in August and September of 2003 in the constellation Aquarius. The time period depicted spans from June 15, 2003 to November 18, 2003 in 2-day increments where each day is at 00:00 UTC. All stars brighter than 5.0 magnitude are shown and labeled. The animation period also encompasses the time that Mars was at its closest approach to Earth in nearly 60,000 years.
The image was derived from screenshots taken from Stellarium, a GPL multi-platform planetarium software.
Русский: Анимация ночного неба, показывающая видимое попятное движение планеты Марс в августе и сентябре 2003 года в созвездии Водолея. Отражен промежуток времени с 15 июня 2003 года по 18 ноября 2003 года, последовательные положения Марса отмечались каждые два дня в 00:00 по всемирному времени. Этот период включает момент (27 августа 2003 года в 9 часов 51 минуту 13 секунд по всемирному времени), когда Марс был на ближайшем за последние ~60 тыс. лет расстоянии от Земли. Все звезды ярче 5-й видимой звездной величины изображены и подписаны.
