Since the distance from Earth to Mars changes drastically as the planets orbit the Sun, Mars' appearance changes dramaticaly. Mars is bright now, and it's getting closer and brighter still as it orbits toward its 2018 opposition and closest approach to Earth in late July. This sequence of sharp telescopic images records the Red Planet's steady increase in apparent size for the months of January (top left) through April. During that time its distance from Earth went from 284 million kilometers in January to 129 million kilometers in April, and so its apparent size more than doubled. At closest approach Mars will be about 58 million kilometers distant, more than doubling in apparent size compared to the disk at the lower right. By then it will rival the brightness of Jupiter in planet Earth's night sky, but don't believe the claims of the inevitable internet hoax. via NASA ift.tt/2xyLzgq

Mars Cheese Castle in Kenosha Wisconsin. It's not made of cheese, but their fresh cheese curd is worth the stop.

IR image of Mars early this evening in quite bright twilight and between light clouds. I took with a 2.5x barlow as against my "normal" setup of 3x barlow, as I am regularly taking Jupiter with the 2.5x barlow now.
Some large scale detail visible: On the eastern limb Hellas and Syrtis major. Sinus Sabeaus(quite distinct) and Mare Erythrium towards the centre and west. Possibly a hint of the SPC? Arabia region very bright(even showing a bit in the avi as I was capturing).

The Mars Train Station was constructed in 1897 by the Pittsburgh and Western Railroad. For nearly fifty years, the station served the community by helping to transport freight and passengers in the area. The station is located halfway between the cities of Pittsburgh, and Butler.
The station was originally located near the intersection of Marshall Way and West Railroad Avenue. During the 1920s, a freight train derailed and crashed into the station, which knocked it off its foundation. The station would eventually be repaired. A few years later, residents gathered around the station and tracks to witness President Warren G. Harding's funeral train passing by on its way to Washington, D.C. The station closed down in the early 1960s, and it would sit vacant until the late 1970s. In the late 1970s and early 1980s the station was once again in use by the railroad and there was an agent located at the station. The agent that was at the station when it finally closed was J.T. Scott. After it closed again in the early 1980s it would remain closed.
Through many donations it was relocated and restored at its current site in the borough in August 1999, and in 2000, the Mars Historical Society purchased the station; it is now a museum. According to Railpace News Magazine, the Mars station is the last station still standing on the P&W Subdivision.
