Or too close to the sun. (visulally not physically)

It is very bright at the moment, though not as bright as Jupiter or Venus at
its brightest. Unfortunately you need a bit of open space to enjoy it becaue
Mars is not all that far above the horizon. There is a reason the street where
I live is called
"Bossstraat". The trees are blocking my view on Mars.


Cheers, Michiel
