Mars in the Loop This composite of images spaced a weather-permitting 5 to 9 days apart, from 2024 September 19 (top right) through 2025 May 18 (bottom left), faithfully traces ruddy-colored Mars as it makes a clockwise loop through the constellations Gemini and Cancer in planet Earth’s night sky. You can connect the dots and dates with your cursor over the image, but be sure to check out this animation of the Red Planet’s 2024/25 retrograde motion. Of course Mars didn’t actually reverse the direction of its orbit. Instead, the apparent backwards motion with respect to the background stars is a reflection of the orbital motion of Earth itself. Retrograde motion can be seen each time Earth overtakes and laps planets orbiting farther from the Sun, the Earth moving more rapidly through its own relatively close-in orbit. In this case Mars’ apparent eastward motion began to reverse around December 8 - May 30, 2025 - Nasa Explorer by @compez.eth - $GENY Helps You Share Your Path! 🌟

Astronomy Picture of the Day (Irregular Dwarf Galaxy Sextans A) Grand spiral galaxies often seem to get all the attention, flaunting young, bright, blue star clusters and pinkish star forming regions along graceful, symmetric spiral arms. But small galaxies form stars too, like irregular dwarf galaxy Sextans A. Its young star clusters and star forming regions are gathered into a gumdrop-shaped region a mere 5,000 light-years across. Seen toward the navigational constellation Sextans, the small galaxy lies some 4.5 million light-years distant. That puts it near the outskirts of the local group of galaxies, that includes the large, massive spirals Andromeda and our own Milky Way. Brighter Milky Way foreground stars appear spiky and yellowish in this colorful telescopic view of Sextans A. - May 29, 2025 - Shared through genyapps (Nasa Explorer) by @compez.eth - From Effort to Achievement – $GENY Helps You Share Your Path! 🌟

Astronomy Picture of the Day (Herbig-Haro 24) This might look like a double-bladed lightsaber, but these two cosmic jets actually beam outward from a newborn star in a galaxy near you. Constructed from Hubble Space Telescope image data, the stunning scene spans about half a light-year across Herbig-Haro 24 (HH 24), some 1,300 light-years or 400 parsecs away in the stellar nurseries of the Orion B molecular cloud complex. Hidden from direct view, HH 24’s central protostar is surrounded by cold dust and gas flattened into a rotating accretion disk. As material from the disk falls toward the young stellar object, it heats up. Opposing jets are blasted out along the system’s rotation axis. Cutting through the region’s interstellar matter, the narrow, energetic jets produce a series of glowing shock fronts along their path. - May 28, 2025 - Shared through genyapps (Nasa Explorer) by @compez.eth - From Effort to Achievement – $GENY Helps You Share Your Path! 🌟
