Explanation:
Mars shines brightly
now in planet Earth's sky.
Seen with a yellowish hue it rises over the hills and far away in
this serene night skyscape, a countryside panorama recorded
last month from Parque Nacional de Cabaneros in Spain.
The Milky Way too
extends above the distant hills into a starry sky.
Its faint pinkish nebulae, cosmic rifts and rivers of dust
are mingled with the pale, diffuse glow of starlight.
Mimicking
Mars' yellow tint, bright star Antares shines to the
right of the central Milky Way starclouds.
Of course,
CubeSats from Earth
are on their way to the Red Planet.
