IF you want to get a bit closer to Mars than you can at the moment, then the Hubble (hubblesite.org) telescope site is worth a visit.
There are some great pictures of this mysterious planet which highlight its snowy ice caps.
At the moment the site is going Mars crazy and it is so popular that many of the archive pages are not available.
However, once the demand for all things Mars has died down place this site in your favourites and enjoy some of the great pictures the telescope takes.
