Mars today

I found an excellent site called Mars Today that depicts current conditions on Mars and its relationship to Earth in six panels. The panels include: the current positions of Mars and Earth in their orbits around the Sun, two views of the positions of Mars and Earth from vantage points near the ecliptic (the plane of Earth’s orbit), comparison of the apparent size of the Martian disc as viewed from Earth with the size of Earth’s disc as viewed from Mars, a simulated image of mars as it would appear at the present time to a very high resolution Earth-based telescope, and there is also a few more panels. Truly a fascinating site that I recommend you all should see. It makes me feel so close to Mars.
