By Neil Bone

This year Mars will be closer to Earth than it has been since the invention of the telescope. Use Neil Bone's Mars Observer's Guide to follow the planet's intriguing features as they become ever clearer in your telescope eye-piece during the course of this apparition, and those in the years to come.

Timetables tell you what to watch for when, and clear explanations enable you to understand what is on view. The book also describes the space missions to Mars, using some of the fantastic images sent back to earth.
