摘要

It's a little past midnight on June 14, 2001, and Mars is a fiery orange dot in the Arizona sky. Tonight, if a line were drawn between Mars and the sun, it would pass through Earth. This geometry, called an opposition, occurs every 26 months. Telescopic observers eagerly await Mars oppositions, because they signal that the Red Planet is near Earth, making it bright in the sky and large in telescopes. Space explorers like oppositions because they are opportunities for Mars flights requiring relatively low energy. In this opposition, Mars is about 42 million miles away—the closest it has been in a dozen years.
