Mars really is spectacular at the moment. Without even trying, and just looking up in a firework filled, and streetlight heavy London sky, it’s very easy to spot – just near The Pleiades.
In other news, Inmarsat is launching a massive satellite on Monday afternoon which is part of their global broadband system. It’s being launched from the massive Sea Launch platform and can be watched live on the internet from 1400 GMT today. I know a couple of people over at Inmarsat, so good luck!
