Measuring the Distance to Mars

Monday, 18 January 2010

John Clark has contacted the Club seeking help with measuring the distance to Mars by parallax, at and around the forthcoming opposition on January 29th.

To do this requires imaging from different continents, and John already has interest from two sites in the UK and South Africa.
