Moon below Antares
- Near the Moon, look for a reddish-orange star ~ that star is Antares.
o - Antares is huge ~ if placed in our Solar System, it could stretch out past the orbit of Mars (and possibly Jupiter depending on estimates)
o - It is a supergiant, meaning it is near the end of its life.
o - It is hundreds of times brighter than the Sun, but it is very far away, so it looks like just a bright star to us.
