Stunning close-up image of Mars reappearing from behind the full Moon, captured from San Diego on December 7th. The Red Planet is seen rising above the lunar surface near crater Abel, with the large Humboldt crater visible to the north. This spectacular shot showcases the bright Full Moon and Mars at opposition, requiring no exposure adjustments.

The moon and Mars are separating.

The Occulation of Mars by the moon. The first image is before, then as the moon and Mars make contact, the last two are as Mars emerges. Cold night but fun. #astrophotography #mars #moon #marsoccultation #moonmarsoccultation

Mars just emerging from the Moon.

Mars just emerging from the Moon - a few seconds later.

Mars just moments after rising from behind the Moon.

Here are some of my better images of "Marsrise" -- right after the end of the #MarsOccultation.

Happy to say I found capture settings that simultaneously worked for both Mars and Moon. No "cheating" and stacking them separately and then copy/pasting.

Enjoy! Prints available later. 🧪🔭

The rare lunar occultation of Mars on 1/13/35. The "Wolf Moon" full moon passed in front of Mars.

Caught Mars on the backside of the Moon this evening in Winnipeg. #mars #moon #eolfmoon #marsoccultation

Went to touch grass briefly to see #Mars twinkling next to the full moon.

A nice reminder how small and tiny we are in this universe.

Also my eyes burn from all the whatever in the air lol

The Full Wolf Moon 'eats' Mars tonight. Here's how to see it If you are fortunate to live in the occultation zone and the weather cooperates, this upcoming event is one that really should not be missed.

Tonight, Mars will be hidden behind the Moon!!

Most of North America will get to see Mars - looks like a bright red star - pass behind the moon and reappear an hour later. This is pretty rare, especially during a full moon. #marsoccultation #astronomy #stargazing

Some locations will experience an occultation, when the Moon passes directly in front of Mars. This will happen just hours after the Moon is full.
