Good afternoon again, Rallypoint. Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) number 2 is titled "Mars at the Moon's Edge." Mars and the Moon were quite close this past Sunday from North Carolina, but the Moon actually blocked the view of Mars when seen from South America. As seen from Córdoba, Argentina, we see a familiar cratered Moon in the foreground with the bright planet Mars unusually adjacent. Within a few seconds, Mars disappears behind the Moon, only to reappear a few minutes later across the Moon. Stargazers in South America will be able to see the transit again in September and October.

A comprehension of perspective in art, engineering and the sciences is critical to understanding what is being observed.
The heavens were created by God and HE placed what we term planet earth in a perfect position to view much of the heavens since we are located on the out bands of the Milky Way Galaxy.
APOD Background
"Explanation: Does the Moon ever block out Mars? Yes, the Moon occasionally moves in front of all of the Solar System's planets. Just this past Sunday, as visible from some locations in South America, a waning gibbous Moon eclipsed Mars. The featured image from Córdoba, Argentina captured this occultation well, showing a familiar cratered Moon in the foreground with the bright planet Mars unusually adjacent. Within a few seconds, Mars then disappeared behind the Moon, only to reappear a few minutes later across the Moon. Today the Moon moves close to, but not in front of, Venus. Because alignments will not have changed by much, the next two times the Moon passes through this part of the sky – in early September and early October – it will also occult Mars, as seen from parts of South America."
