On June 2nd, Mars entered the Praesepe, also known as the Beehive Cluster, with its Messier designation being M44. The Praesepe is an open star cluster composed of numerous young stars. Due to its proximity to us, Mars appears to move slower than the stars due to its orbit around the Sun. Therefore, if you observe Mars daily over the past few days, you would have noticed that it has been slowly approaching the Praesepe from the west. On June 2nd, it was right within the cluster, and afterwards, it will gradually move away towards the east.
