I have always been interested in the stars. I love looking up and identifying the constellations and viewing the Milky Way. My son Mark has picked up my fascination. By a very young age he could point out the Big Dipper, Orion’s Belt, Ursus Major and Minor. He learned the names of the planets quickly and could explain the differences between them all.
Today we were talking about Mars, the Red Planet, and how we should be able to see it by the moon. Unfortunately, the skies in north Georgia are quite clouds and there is not a star to be seen.
However, our discussion about Mars forced us to do some digging on the Internet for some information about the planet. We would like to share this with those of you who are as interested as we are.
I am going to list a few links to web pages we feel are helpful and full of good information in hopes you read and learn more about our fantastic galaxy. Enjoy!
