What Irony!

This is perhaps the finest ever picture capture of an occultation simply
because..it's Mars. It could be Saturn or Jupiter but somehow the mystic
surrounding Mars makes it all the more something to ponder.

In this case, Mars actually looks like some wierd one eyed (cycloptic)
Martian with "the eye of Mars" staring coldly at Earth!

The image must be at least 300 X's magnification.

Don't need one..it has no caption. You have to have a caption otherwise some
