Getting ready for next time
You can observe Mars – imagine what an ancient person (society) would think
- Look for Mars in the night sky before the next class
- Mars is twice as close as the closest point last year
- Four times as bright!
- Easy to spot in the sky – bright even near an almost full moon
- Before next time – think about this question:Is there a reason why Mars appears in the sky close to the moon when 1) Mars is very bright and 2) the moon is near full?
