APOD 1.7

October 4 2014
Mars, Antares, Moon, and Saturn

This picture appealed to me because it is something that is visible by the naked eye and on Earth. This picture was taken at sunset when the sun is still radiating light, but only slightly. It states that Mars, Antares, the Moon, and Saturn are the brightest lights in the night sky. It states that Antaries is in Scorpius' heart, and that is because Antares is in the constellation Scorpius. A sailboat is included in the photo and it helps with the celestial view over the lake. It ends with that all the celestial objects are near the plane of the ecliptic.
