Astronomy Magazine does Mars

The August issues of Astronomy Magazine and Sky & Telescope magazines both arrived in my mailbox yesterday. Lots of good stuff in S&T. However, what really grabbed my attention were the 8 articles on Mars (4 print, 4 online "web-extras"). I must confess my favorites were two by Karri Ferron:
    The Red Planet's Colorful Past (print version)
    Lots of colorful photos of historic globes and maps featuring the canali. Yes, Rick Woods, grab a copy and feast your eyes on some colorful Schiaparelli and Lowell intricate networks.


    The Quest to understand the Red Planet (web-extra)
    Nice timeline showing how perception of Mars has changed greatly over 5,000 years.
Good reading this month in the mags.

Only just started to delve into the Mars articles. It is an excellent issue.

Hey, I did grab one, and it's great! See now, Astronomy and S&T should be like this every month - several Mars articles, and a few others. Dave Eicher's opening editorial was excellent, too.
