            the Planet Mars becomes much brighter over the next few weeks,
            the most memorable views that we will remember most could possibly
            be the naked eye view as seen here, as the brilliant orange new
            "star" rises in the eastern sky. This 5 minute shot
            was taken on a tracking platform to yield a crisp visual impression.
