LOOK TO THE SKIES IN AUGUST

Post by **madmoose** » 23 Jul 2010, 11:46

Hi all, thought some of you might be interested in this, in August Mars will be the closest to Earth than it has been for 5000 years, from the start of the month you will be able to see mars and as the month progresses mars will get brighter and brighter on the 27th of AUGUST it will the closes to earth than it has been in recorded history and might not happen again for another 60,000 years so on the 27th it is going to peak at around 12.30am and will be next to the moon, it will look the same size as the moon to the naked eye so get out there and look to the skies,

no one alive today will ever see this again cheers Murray

If Mars ever appeared ANYWHERE near as big as the moon, then I think we'd all be in big trouble...
