12月7日晚上,火星在满月附近徘徊。事实上,从欧洲和北美的一些地方看,这颗红色星球是被遮蔽的,从月球后面经过。在消失在月盘后面大约一个小时后,火星再次出现在这组从地球圣地亚哥拍摄的清晰视频帧中。由于月球在前景,火星距离月球只有8200万公里,接近它自己的对点。满月和满月的火星足够明亮,无需调整曝光即可提供壮观的图像。在这张图片中,火星似乎是在靠近月球近侧东南边缘的古老、黑暗的月球陨石坑阿贝尔上方升起的。洪堡是它北面的大陨石坑(左图)。

On the night of December 7 Mars wandered near the Full Moon. In fact the Red Planet was occulted, passing behind the Moon, when viewed from locations across Europe and North America. About an hour after disappearing behind the lunar disk Mars reappears in this stack of sharp video frames captured from San Diego, planet Earth. With the Moon in the foreground Mars was a mere 82 million kilometers distant, near its own opposition. Full Moon and full Mars were bright enough to provide the spectacular image with no exposure adjustments necessary. In the image Mars appears to rise just over ancient, dark-floored, lunar crater Abel very close to the southeastern edge of the Moon's near side. Humboldt is the large impact crater to its north (left).
