Just now having a look at Mars, shining brightly below the Moon tonight. =
Nice reddish disc in my 10 inch reflector scope.

Mars about 5.2 light-minutes away. Moon 1.25 light-seconds away. Also =
having a look at Saturn, a bit dimmer but noticeable to the left of =
Moon. Saturn is about 72 light minutes away from Earth. i.e. if you were =
phoning someone near Saturn using powerful cell phones, the call would =
take 72 minutes to get there. The rings are showing up nicely. Along =
with a couple of Saturn's moons.
