Mars currently has two satellite moons – Phobos and Deimos – the twin sons of Ares, the god of war (Mars in Roman mythology) and Aphrodite, the goddess of love, beauty, and procreation, in Greek mythology.

January’s full moon, the “Wolf Moon,” rose alongside Mars at its brightest, occulting it for a short period as seen from North America. Here are the best images.

Mars will seem to disappear behind the full wolf moon Monday for many sky-gazers. Throughout January, also look up to see Venus, Saturn and Jupiter in the night sky.
