This month is a Mars special! We have an interview with Dr Peter Smith of the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona who is in charge of the Phoenix mission to Mars. Anna also tells us about the history of Mars exploration. Thank you to everyone who came to talk to us at the IoA Open Afternoon - we hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did! Included this month are some of the questions you asked us along with our answers. Of course we also have Alex's guide to the Sky at Night in April, the latest news stories from Laura and some astro comedy from Michelle. Sit back, enjoy and don't forget you can find more info on our website at http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/astropod
