Science Casts Red and Golden Planets at Opposition

Red Planet (Mars) at Opposition: When Mars is at opposition, it appears brighter and reddish in the sky. This occurs approximately every 26 months, as Earth's orbit overtakes and aligns with Mars' orbit, bringing the two planets closer together. During opposition, Mars can be easily observed with the naked eye, and astronomers often take advantage of this opportunity to study the planet's surface features and atmospheric conditions in greater detail.

Golden Planet (Saturn) at Opposition: While not as commonly referred to as the "golden planet," Saturn is often associated with a golden hue due to its distinct yellowish color when viewed from Earth. When Saturn is at opposition, it appears particularly bright and is positioned opposite the Sun, allowing for optimal viewing and observation. This phenomenon occurs roughly once a year, as Earth's faster orbit allows it to overtake and align with Saturn's slower orbit, bringing the two planets into closer proximity.
