Mars to cross Kingdom skies Sunday
The Jordanian sky will witness a celestial event at dawn on Sunday: the apparent passage of the planet Mars between the stars of the Necrux cluster, also known as "The Beehive" in the Cancer constellation. During this event, Mars will be very close to the center of the cluster and will appear surrounded by stars. This phenomenon offers a unique opportunity for astronomy enthusiasts to observe and photograph it, especially during the dawn hours using telescopes and cameras. The Jordanian Astronomical Society will monitor the phases of Mars's approach to and departure from the Necrux cluster, which is approximately 600 light-years away from Earth and contains around a thousand stars. It is worth noting that the Necrux cluster holds a historic significance in Arab heritage, associated with the ripening seasons of fruits, while in ancient civilizations, Mars symbolized strength and war.
