Pak Priyo dan pak Oetomo Yth., Mars dapat terlihat hampir sepanjang malam di bulan Agustus ini. Saat ini Mars terbit sekitar jam 19 atau 19.30. Jadi kalau kita melihat ke arah timur pada sekitar jam 21-an akan tampak sebuah "bintang" terang dengan cahaya yang agak kemerahan, itulah Mars. Diteropong dengan binokuler saja sudah tampak sebagai bulatan kecil, bukan lagi titik cahaya. Paling bagus melihatnya pada tengah malam karena posisi Mars sudah tinggi sekali di angkasa. Rencananya Bosscha akan mengadakan malam renungan Mars pada sekitar 26, 27 dan 28 Agustus (semoga jadi). Pada saat itu akan diberikan ceramah- ceramah, pemutaran slide, diskusi, realtime remote display, penayangan hasil hasil pemotretan, juga peserta bisa meneropong dengan menggunakan teropong di Bosscha (tapi bukan teropong terbesar lho).
Untuk pak Priyo, kalau boleh tahu, site di Jateng yang diusulkan untuk peneropongan bintang itu dimana ? berapa ketinggian diatas permukaan laut ? Bagaimana keadaan cuacanya, banyak hujan ? banyak awan ? jarang hujan ? Kering ?
