'Opposition' to bring Mars closest to Earth Friday

The telescope will allow the public to see the Mars surface and the now active dust storm covering it.

On Mars, a dust storm erupted in the southern hemisphere and ballooned into a global dust storm enshrouding the entire planet. Primitive life may have evolved on the planet then, only to be snuffed out when the world lost most of its atmosphere and became an arid frozen desert.

"Since the NASA/European Space Agancy Hubble Space Telescope was launched, its goal has always been to study not only distant astronomical objects, but also the planets within our solar system", the space agencies wrote in a statement. Of course, if you look opposite the Sun in the sky tonight, you'll also see a Full Moon near Mars. About an hour after sunset, Mars will have risen high enough to see above the trees.

Whether Meghan's husband has something special planned for the occasion this year as well will only be known on her birthday.

The visit will see Mars come into "opposition", which occurs when Earth lies directly between Mars and the sun, making the sun and Mars appear in opposite directions as viewed from the Earth.

In 2003, Space.com reports, Mars was was 34.6 million miles from Earth, compared to the average distance of about 140 million miles.

The new proof shows the existence of a lake one mile underneath the ice-covered surface of Mars' south pole, as indicated by new research published on Wednesday in Science.

Now though, by bouncing radar signals through underground layers of ice, researchers using the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding instrument, MARSIS, onboard Mars Express have detected the previously undetectable; a particularly bright radar reflection 1.5 kilometres underground, that stretches for about 20 kilometres.
