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
