Tomorrow morning, before sunrise, the Moon will pay a visit to Mars.
On June 12, a thin waning crescent Moon will appear beside the Red Planet in the predawn sky, creating one of the most beautiful celestial pairings of the month.
About an hour before sunrise, look toward the eastern horizon. A delicate crescent Moon, illuminated by only a small fraction of sunlight, will hang in the darkness while Mars glows nearby with its distinctive reddish hue.
Although they will appear close together from our perspective on Earth, these two worlds are actually separated by tens of millions of miles of space.
Moments like this remind us how extraordinary the night sky can be.
While most people are still asleep, the universe will be putting on a quiet show above the horizon — a fleeting meeting between our Moon and the planet Mars.
If skies are clear where you live, don't miss it.
Sometimes the most beautiful events in the universe happen in silence. ✨🌌
Who will be waking up early to see it?
