Astronomy Observations- 2

September 17, 2011
          I believe I saw Mars on this night in the sky. As this was a clear night I observed the stars in their glowing awesomeness. I saw two lights in particular that seemed to be brighter than the others. I assume one of them was the North Star and the other I believe is Mars. I googled Mars and its positions after I observed the figure to see if it was Mars and found results stating that Mars was visible. It is amazing to think that for how different a star and a planet are that they would appear to be similar objects in the sky.
