It's very close to earth this month. Tonight I've been watching it, it's very large & bright. What a show! |

Posted in reply to Walter | Yes, I just saw it too. At about 10 p.m. it was in the South-Eastern sky somewhat low on the horizon. When you see it you will know that it is Mars. It is much brighter than any star you've ever seen. It was cloudy so I could only see one star, and it was not nearly as bright as Mars. I also got to look at it through a neighbor's big 8 inch telescope (about the size of a big watermellon) and I could make out the polar ice caps as a bright spot.

You can find much better pictures on the internet. And nowadays real astronomers look on monitors anyway :-)

Posted in reply to Heinz Saathoff | It is the excitement of grabbing a "gender of your preference" and go to a high up dark place and look at the stars that matter.
