This sequence of sharp telescopic images records Mars's steady increase in apparent size for the months of January (top left) through April.
During that time its distance from Earth went from 284 million kilometers in January to 129 million kilometers in April, and so its apparent size more than doubled. At its closest approach in late July, Mars will be about 58 million kilometers distant, more than doubling in apparent size compared to the disk at the lower right.

That is possibly the most beautiful/poignant thing I've ever seen.
Went to cars n coffee yesterday. Surrounded by hundreds of the coolest cars in the city. I took exactly one picture. I’m such a dork.
