MARS is in the news with its closest approach to Earth in 15 years. Now even brighter than the planet Jupiter, Mars is hard to miss in the early evening Eastern sky. The recent discovery of a probable sub-surface body of liquid water on Mars has added to interest in the red planet. However, just weeks before closest approach on the 27th of July, a massive planet-wide dust storm blew up and obscured many of the features that amateur astronomers were hoping to capture. Still, newbie astro-photographers like myself are still happy with the results of their efforts - especially since other planets are also presently in the evening sky to image, such as Venus, Jupiter and Saturn. And please; no jokes about whether I was gazing at Uranus or not - I have heard them all! CLIMATE TRUTHS book is now available in a choice of two different covers!
