Everything is smaller from afar; references

The photograph on page 141 compares the apparent sizes of the Moon and Mars through a highly magnified telescope. Now try seeing how large Mars looks to the naked eye. Use the Mars disc from the pixel activity on page 179, coloured or uncoloured. The table shows how far from the drawing you must stand for it to appear the same size as Mars in the sky.
