	Mars
		The southern hemisphere of Mars is predominantly ancient cratered highlands somewhat similar to the Moon.
		Mars' thin atmosphere produces a greenhouse effect but it is only enough to raise the surface temperature by 5 degrees (K); much less than what we see on Venus and Earth.
		Mars is a difficult but rewarding target for an amateur telescope though only for the three or four months each martian year when it is closest to Earth.

	CNN.com - Earth braces for Mars close encounter - Aug. 26, 2003
		Mars, five times closer now than six months ago, will be 34.6 million miles away, its closest brush with Earth in about 60,000 years, according to calculations by international astronomers.
		Mars won't pass closer to Earth until 2287, according to astronomers.
		"Mars fever has caught, not only for amateur astronomers, who are getting their best look at the planet ever and that we'll ever have in our life, but also for professionals, as you know, with the [NASA] Mars Rovers and other spacecraft that are en route," said David Eicher, editor of Astronomy magazine.
