In this image: An artist concept image of where seven carefully-selected instruments will be located on NASA’s Mars 2020 rover. The instruments will conduct unprecedented science and exploration technology investigations on the Red Planet as never before.
From the press release: The next rover NASA will send to Mars in 2020 will carry seven carefully-selected instruments to conduct unprecedented science and exploration technology investigations on the Red Planet.
NASA announced the selected Mars 2020 rover instruments Thursday at the agency's headquarters in Washington. Managers made the selections out of 58 proposals received in January from researchers and engineers worldwide. Proposals received were twice the usual number submitted for instrument competitions in the recent past. This is an indicator of the extraordinary interest by the science community in the exploration of the Mars. The selected proposals have a total value of approximately $130 million for development of the instruments.
The Mars 2020 mission will be based on the design of the highly successful Mars Science Laboratory rover, Curiosity, which landed almost two years ago, and currently is operating on Mars. The new rover will carry more sophisticated, upgraded hardware and new instruments to conduct geological assessments of the rover's landing site, determine the potential habitability of the environment, and directly search for signs of ancient Martian life.

Normal sized, sharp version.
Taken in Lowestoft, UK, on 7 August 20, at 02.19 am bst.
Celestron NexStar 6se SCT & Altair Hypercam 183c.
AVI video stacked in Autostakkert 2. Touched-up in PS CC.
Seeing was average. The South Polar Ice-cap (composed of water ice & dry ice) shows up very nicely, but has shrunk since mid July. The dark patches includes (I think) Mare Sirenum to the SW, Mare Erythracum to the SE, & possibly Olympus Mons to the far NW, according to Sky & Telescope, Mars Profiler.
Mars is getting closer to Earth & will be in opposition at 2320 utc on October 13, 2020.

A day after closest approach, and conditions weren't quite as good, but still worth getting another image.
Mars was magnitude -2.58 with angular diameter of 22.57", and was 99.7% illuminated.

I had the luck of finding my number 9 (out of 9 in total!) space invader in Marseille by coincidence. On my way back to Gare Saint-Charles (to go back to Amsterdam) i had the luck to pass by this one on the corner of the Rue Jean Roque and Cours Julien. At the background the Palais des Arts of the region.
Year of invasion: 2004

The original Pac Man in this street was part of the first wave in Marseille of 9 space invaders in total. As we speak (2016) the space invader count is 13 divided over 3 invasion waves. This one has been deleted but has been re-activated in the Summer of 2016. It's flashable again. As we speak (still 2016) there are only 3 of the in total 13 space invaders active to 'flash' by the application game FlashInvaders.
