Moon, Mars, and a Twinkle!

Imagine the moon, Mars, and a faraway star all lined up in the night sky—it's like a cosmic parade!

The light from our moon travels super-fast to our eyes; Mars' light takes a bit longer, about 16 minutes.

That sparkly star is so, so far away; its light takes a super long time, 79 years, to get here!

Look west after dark this weekend to see these amazing celestial objects shining brightly together.
