Mars, 1x, 99400000km (Toronto)

The skies are not great but it's somewhat clear. Some haze. Some high thin cloud. And the Moon is bright, 13 days old. Bit of a halo. Still I popped outside to see Mars, on this important day. 99400000 kilometres away. 2/3rd the distance to the Sun. And there it is, high up, glowing orange, near Castor and Pollux. Pretty. Tempting.
