Too Far Away—Albert Camus - a photo on Flickriver

            The waning gibbous Moon is about to pass in front of Mars: the lunar occultation of Mars actually occurred a couple of hours later, when Mars couldn’t outshine the bright daylight. So, the two celestial bodies were shot just before the beginning of astronomical dawn:

They seem too close to each other, as their apparent position in the sky is only one degree apart (approximately). Yet, they are too far away both from each other and from the camera: The Moon was close to its apogee (the most distant point of its elliptical orbit around Earth). Mars was even farther away, of course, as a planet moving around the sun. Precise data about the positions in a comment below. Photograph made by stacking 26 light frames by Starry Landscape Stacker.

The celestial bodies’ distance reminds us of the following theatrical play’s line:

“I am too far away from what I love and my distance is without remedy.”

—Albert Camus (Le Malentendu / The Misunderstanding, act 2, sc. 2)
