Mars

[shura]

on august 27th, mars is going to be really close to earth. there was some dumb rumor going around that it was going to appear as large as the full moon, but that is obviously false. When you see it, it will look like a bright red star. it will supposedly be very pretty. dont miss it y0

Sixty-nine million km is good. At that distance, Mars shines brighter than anything else in the sky except the Sun, the Moon and Venus. The visual magnitude of Mars on Oct. 30, 2005, will be -2.3. Even inattentive sky watchers will notice it, rising at sundown and soaring overhead at midnight.

I live in a medium town/city, so maybe I'll see it.

Worst case scenario I go to the open space behind my house to try to look at it. If I do I'll post pics.
