New York City's channel 4 news talked about it (like everyone else),
but they got a couple of minor points wrong (probably like everyone

Then the weathercaster, the bearer of bad news for New York
astronomers, said that you wouldn't be able to see Mars through the
clouds with the naked eye or with binoculars. But a telescope might
do it.


That's very funny. I wonder if it works that way during the daylight hours as well.
