Earth Webcam Catches Mars Rotation

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Tonight and over the next few days, Mars will be at its closest approach to Earth in nearly 60,000 years. This 20-frame movie of Mars rotating was created from 1000 frames captured by a backyard webcam. Do not expect to see this much detail or rotation through a small telescope, but it will still be a great view.
