    The mean apparent magnitude of Mars is +0.71 with a standard deviation of 1.05. [19] Because the orbit of Mars is eccentric, the magnitude at opposition from the Sun can range from about −3.0 to −1.4. [195] The minimum brightness is magnitude +1.86 when the planet is near aphelion and in conjunction with the Sun. [19] At its brightest, Mars ...

    Observations of Mars had shown that the planet appeared to move 40% faster on one side of its orbit than the other, in conflict with the Aristotelian model of uniform motion. Ptolemy modified the model of planetary motion by adding a point offset from the center of the planet's circular orbit about which the planet moves at a uniform rate of ...
