During Mars&#8217; annual winter, it is a little brighter than the rest of the planet, making it difficult to capture with a small telescope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, the Sun appears as a little reddish-orange due to dust in the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this Martian year, I will likely look up at a clear night, with a couple of dark spotlights on a tripod or small telescope at about 7:30 pm. For several hours, I will observe the bright Sun rise, and then return to the same spotlight at twilight. From the moonlit mountain pass above the pass, I will then look down into a valley, and then up into the pass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To explore the surface of Mars as a whole, scientists have focused almost exclusively on a portion of its surface, called the &#8216;Celestial latitudes&#8217;.
