Pictured above is Mars (red) and Spica (blue) brightly shining in the night sky on Wednesday, April 2, 2014. Next week, Mars will reach its optimum brightness in the night sky and will be very clearly visible to the naked eye as it is in this photo. Spica is an incredibly old star having been observed since ancient times. It is known as one of the brightest blue stars in the night sky and is constantly shining. This photo was taken after sunset in Sweden last week.
