Mars is one of my favorite planet, I always felt there is something
attract me to it. These days Mars orbit is closer to the earth than
before and this will not happen again until 2017!!! So take a chance
and see it on the east after the sunset like an orange star and this will continue
untill the next month. Today will be “very close” and if you have small
telescope you can see the ice on its polars, or may be you will be
lucky and see aliens moving on it is surface… 🙂 😉
