APPROACHING MARS: <\/strong><\/span>By the time you finish reading this sentence, you’ll be 40 km closer to Mars.<\/p>\n

Earth and Mars are converging for a<\/a> close encounter this Fall, one of the best since 2003, and their separation is rapidly shrinking–negative 8 km\/s as of Aug. 21st. You are literally<\/em> approaching the Red Planet. Just this week the brightness of Mars\u00a0surpassed that of Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. Suddenly, Mars is almost bright enough to see in daylight and an easy target for backyard telescopes.<\/p>\n

The best is yet to come.<\/span> By the night of closest approach on Oct. 6th (0.4149 AU), Mars will more than double in brightness again, outshining everything in the night sky except Venus and the Moon. Throughout this apparition, the south pole will remain tilted toward Earth, giving observers a good view of the breakup of the ice cap as Martian spring turns into summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
