Abstract

The article discusses the Red Planet Mars which does a nice job of keeping ahead of the Sun during March, moves eastward relative to the background stars at nearly the same pace as the star. It states that the Red Planet Mars slides just south of the blue-white stars, joining the Pleiades star cluster during late March and early April 2019.
