Next 12 Jan. 2024, at 14:00 UTC, Mars will be at its minimum distance from the Earth, about 96 million of km. This is the shortest distance since Dec. 2022. A few days later, on 16 Jan., it will reach the so-called opposition, peaking in brightness. The Virtual Telescope Project will offer two free, online observing sessions on both those dates, to share with you the beauty and charm of the Red Planet.
These two live feeds are scheduled for 12 & 16 Jan. 2025, both starting at 20:00 UT.
