Beyers observations of Mars
Beyers observations of Mars. Six dated and labelled observations of Mars made during the opposition of 1924 by M. Beyer of the Hamburg Bergedorf Observatory, Germany. An opposition is the point where a planet is closest to Earth during its orbit around the Sun. Beyer observed distinctive features on Mars, such as Sinus Sabaeus, Syrthis Major and the polar caps. However, he failed to see the Martian canals that the US astronomer Percival Lowell had claimed existed. It is now accepted that these canals were an optical illusion

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the meticulous observations of Mars made by M. Beyer of the Hamburg Bergedorf Observatory in Germany during the opposition of 1924. An opposition, a moment when a planet is closest to Earth in its orbit around the Sun, provided Beyer with an exceptional opportunity to study Mars in great detail. In this image, we witness six dated and labelled observations meticulously recorded by Beyer. His keen eye detected distinctive features on Mars such as Sinus Sabaeus, Syrthis Major, and even the polar caps. However, what makes his findings truly intriguing is that he failed to observe the famous Martian canals previously claimed by US astronomer Percival Lowell. It has since been established that these canals were merely an optical illusion. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its scientific value but also in capturing a specific moment in time within our understanding of our neighboring planet. The illustration serves as a testament to Beyer's dedication and expertise as he mapped out varying geographical features across different hemispheres of Mars. As we delve into this remarkable piece from Science Photo Library, it transports us back to a pivotal era in planetary science during the early 20th century. Through careful observation and research, Beyer contributed significantly to our knowledge about Mars' seasonal variations and its place within our solar system.
