Mars


Recommended Posts

No, you cannot see the canals on Mars in binoculars, because there aren't any. icon_smile.gif:)--> You need a good telescope at least 90mm in diameter to see any of the features on the Martian disk.

If you see the picture I took of Saturn to the left, under my name, Mars will get to be about that big--in a telescope at 48x. If you just look up at it, it will be a very bright red "star" in the southeast sky at about 10pm local or so. Can't miss it, there's nothing even close to it that is that bright or that red.

You can go out tonight and see it if you don't want to wait. To the naked eye, it won't get any bigger than it is tonight, although it will get a little brighter over the next 2 weeks.
