Mars

This morning, sometime around 5ish, Mars was the closest it’s been to the Earth in some really long amount of time. We went out last night to look at it. Basically, if you look up in the sky and there’s this really bright, kind of reddish star — that’s Mars. I decided to take a picture of it (even if that is a bit silly) since it’s never going to be so close again.
Here is the picture of Mars taken with my camera:

And here is one taken by the Hubble telescope:

Mine’s better, don’t you think?
