Mars, Perihelic Apparition

Scientific paper

Mars will approach closer to the Earth during the 2003 apparition than at any other time in over 59,000 years! Always an intriguing world, Mars offers both casual and serious observers many challenges and delights. It also provides astronomers a laboratory to study the atmosphere and surface of another planet, including the behavior of condensates and their effects on its atmosphere and surface. Mars is similar to Earth in that it has four seasons, exhibits global climates, changing weather patterns, annual thawing and growing of polar caps, storm clouds of water ice, dusty winds, and a variety of surface features that predictably change in color and size and appear to shift position over extended periods of time.
