Antares

A half-hour ago I would not have been able to tell you anything about Antares other than that it is a star.

But a half-hour ago I saw a red star fairly close to the Moon and wondered what it was. So I looked it up and found out that it is Antares.

I also found out it is so-called because of its reddish colour, a competitor in the sky for Mars (a.k.a. Ares, right? You following? There may be a test).

In my picture none of the reddishness is visible. You'll have to take my word for it. Or get out on A-deck and see for yourself.

If you can zoom in you'll see two or three other stars, even one closer to the moon than Mr Chase-Mars. I don't know their names.
