Details:
With each passing day the distance between Mars and Jupiter continues to decrease. We are just a week away before Mars comes to within 0.7 degrees of Jupiter (March 20); sliding beneath the gas giant. I'm looking forward to the crescent Moon joining the planet trio on the morning of March 18th.
This morning the International Space Station emerged from Earth's shadow and made a beautiful close pass with Jupiter in the southeast sky. The planets Mars and Saturn were just spectators helping set the stage in this composite time-lapse image and animation. The images were captured between 5:37am and 5:45am CST.
Canon 60Da, Sigma lens @28mm, f/5.6, ISO 500, 13 second exposure.
