Mars causes flood in Perseus cluster
On Sunday dawn, the skies of Jordan witnessed a remarkable astronomical event: the apparent passage of Mars between the stars of the Praesepe cluster, also known as the "Beehive Cluster" or "Leo's Beehive," in the constellation Cancer. Estimates indicated that Mars would be closest to the center of the star cluster on Sunday afternoon, with the distance between them narrowing to just a few arcminutes, allowing viewers to see the red planet surrounded by the cluster's stars. The early morning hours are considered the best time to observe this phenomenon using binoculars and telescopes. The Jordanian Astronomical Society announced that it observed and documented the event over Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to track Mars's movement, its approach towards the Praesepe cluster, and its subsequent distancing from it.
