It moves eastward against the stars and does not rise out of the dawn quite as quickly as they do. Earth, orbiting faster than Mars, begins to overtake it, and Mars's apparent eastward motion slows and stops.Er bewegt sich ostwärts gegen die Sterne und geht nicht so schnell in der Dämmerung auf wie sie. Die Erde, schneller als Mars, setzt zum Überholen an, und die scheinbare Ostbewegung des Mars verlangsamt sich und stoppt.Burnham, Robert,Dyer, Alan,Garfinkle, Robert A,George, Martin,Kanipe, Jeff,Levy, David H. / Advanced Skywatching: The Backyard Astronomer's Guide to Starhopping and Exploring the UniverseBurnham, Robert,Dyer, Alan,Garfinkle, Robert A.,George, Martin,Kanipe, Jeff,Levi, David H. / Der Sternenhimmel: Ein astronomischer WegweiserDer Sternenhimmel: Ein astronomischer WegweiserBurnham, Robert,Dyer, Alan,Garfinkle, Robert A.,George, Martin,Kanipe, Jeff,Levi, David H.© Weldon Owen Pty Ltd© 2006 für die deutsche Ausgabe: Tandem Verlag GmbHAdvanced Skywatching: The Backyard Astronomer's Guide to Starhopping and Exploring the UniverseBurnham, Robert,Dyer, Alan,Garfinkle, Robert A,George, Martin,Kanipe, Jeff,Levy, David H.© 1997 US Weldon Owen Inc.© 1997 Weldon Owen Pty Limited
