2020 September 11 - The Reappearance of Mars
Channel: APOD Podcast
Date: 2020-09-11

In today's image, we see our Moon and the planet Mars just after an occultation. A occultation occurs when one astronomical object passes in front of another. In this case, our Moon passed in front of the planet Mars temporarily blocking it from sight. This was the fourth of five such occultations to occur this year.
