Commercially made telescopes can reveal its dusty surface markings, brilliant polar ice caps, and atmospheric phenomena. Many of Mars‘s features appear to change shape and intensity with the seasons: its polar caps grow and shrink cyclically, clouds billow above the Martian surface, and sometimes great dust storms obscure vast sections of the planet.. The first part of .Mars and How to Observe It. sets out our current knowledge of Mars as a planet - its orbit, physical characteristics, evolution over time, and current geology. A planet-wide tour of Mars‘s topography is featured, along with clearly labeled maps and close-up images of a variety of features. The second part of the book explains how amateur and practical astronomers can observe Mars successfully. Many aspects are considered in depth, including preparing to observe, calculating phase and tilt, and making observational sketches and drawings. | 出版日期 | Book 2012 | 关键词 | Amateur astronomy; Imaging Mars; Observing Mars; Observing planets; Practical astronomy; Red Planet | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-2302-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4614-2301-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4614-2302-7Series ISSN 1611-7360 Series E-ISSN 2197-6546 | issn_series | 1611-7360 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2012 |
