Space Telescope Observes Mars Intotal

The gems of e space telescope is designed to see things that are very far away and are very faint. It will be basically hiding in a shadow in space, so that it isn't being hit at all by the sun. And this is a little weird, because if you want to observe mars, there's lots of spacecraft right there at mars doing it. So why would we need something that's far away from mars observing mars? Well, i'll tell you, john: When you're in orbit around a planet, you can actually only see a little bit it at a time.
