During September 19-26, 1988, Mars will be 23.8 arcsec wide; this is fully 95 percent as large as Mars can ever possibly become, and only 1 arcsec smaller than it attained during the last very favorable apparition, in 1971. In the case of the 1988 apparition, Mars will be 20 deg higher in the sky than in either 1971 or 1986, offering observers in the Northern Hemisphere a much better view. The south polar cap is discussed as well as clouds and hazes, yellow dust storms, and seasonable trends.
