In my mind, the boundary is the touch point where the interaction with the external system is so far away from any component at the unit level, that we don't need to set up any mock for the XHR library.

Mars is at it's closest to Earth. Here's a photo I captured of it last night using a 14' telescope. You can clearly see the northern polar ice cap! I'm working hard to learn to overcome the challenges of planetary photography to bring you the best images of Mars at opposition.
