We are getting a great view in the southern hemisphere too!

Wow, I have been noticing Mars for the last two weeks now, glowing pale orange over the night sky. A couple of years back, in 1999, it was also big and bright. It is really hard to miss it at the moment and the papers and TV news have spread the word so that idiots with camcorders don't film the strange orange UFO in the sky or ring the police in hysterics!

We also get good views of Jupiter and Venus from time to time. Venus is big and bright during our summer time!
