This image shows a comparison of the angular sizes of the Moon and Mars photographed in 2025. The Earth’s satellite was photographed on March 7, while the red planet was captured on January 5. The Moon appears about 133 times larger than Mars in the sky.
Also, I intentionally enhanced the Moon’s saturation to reveal the mineral composition of its surface. The reddish-brown hues indicate iron oxide, while the blue hues represent titanium oxide.
I used two old amateur cameras, a Canon 550Da and a Canon 6D, to create the image. Mars was taken on a Canon 550Da, UV-IR cut, two 2x Barlow lenses, GSO 150/750, Arsenal EQ5 mount. The Moon was shot on a Canon 550Da (for detail), Canon 6D (for color), UV-IR cut, 2x Barlow lens, GSO 150/750, Arsenal EQ5 mount.
