Details:
Twice this year (2025), the beautiful open star cluster Messier 44, also known as "Beehive" or "Praesepe Cluster", was seemingly visited by a bright planetary passerby as it is close to the ecliptic. For the first time, from the end of April to the first half of May, it was the the red planet Mars. Second time, just these days, from the end of August through the beginning of September, by bright Venus. I tried to capture both of the "visitors" while passing Beehive into this one time-lapse shot. More on my website (link below).
