Default Post #15 - Mystery Telescope Challenge

Amelia had decided that she would end this telescope challenge with looking at Mars through a telescope. She had heard that it wasn't exactly the easiest planet to see through a small telescope, but a medium or large telescope showed it with more detail.

Looking around the Observitory, she settled on a telescope right in the middle and headed right over to it. After placing her bag on the floor, she started looking through the lens and adjusting it so that it was in the correct focus.

Once she was done, she turned her gaze in the direction that she thought Mars would appear in, adjusting the focus more as she went.

After a little while, she had found it. It looked reddish, but also sorta white at the same time. The longer she looked, the clearer it all became to her. She could sort of make out the polar ice caps as well as the dark features of it.

Pulling away from her telescope after a bit, Amelia started writing notes on what she had seen, adding a sketch to go along with it.
