Mars

Filed under: Science — Chris Curtis @ 22:17

I just spent an hour looking at Mars through my 6 inch telescope. The Moon is so bright that other things are not very visible ( though I did look at the clusters M46, 47 and 50)
At first all I could see was the North Polar cap as the planet itself was “boiling” with the turbulence of the air above me. With a red filter and patience more came into view. Looking it up I can see that Mare Acidalium was very clear as was the Syrtis Major region disappearing towards the limb.
To be honest, it is not that clear a view but there is something magical about looking across millions of miles to another world.

Seasons

There was snow on the ground this morning but there is also an evening now. I left work last night before it was completely dark: the first time this year. Tuesday is Candlemas. Still definitely winter but the days have already turned.
