Planet Mars Brightest in August

[piglet]

Planet Mars will bethe brightest in the night sky starting August. It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will cultimate on 27th August 2006 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles of Earth. It will look like the earth has 2 moons. Don't miss it......The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.

* Note : Don't miss it and share this ith your friends and family members etc..., as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it again......

Too bad no space mission to take advantage of the 34.65M miles distance. No space agency have news to fire probes to Mars recently. Anyone with a good telescope, I wish to see this.

Saw this from an email last time, but also must depend on SG's weather on that day. =))

Any good spots to catch this spectacular moment?

Unless it's like meteor showers then need a dark place.

No problem spotting the moon anywhere any night when the sky is clear. So just pray for a clear sky that day. :D

Right, Mars will not blow up or run away in 24 hrs one so take your time see till your eyes pop.=))

[nagamisan]

[Koo]

Will there be higher or lower tides at sea/lakes/other water body. Double magetic atrractions,anyone.=))

[piglet]

Dun forget to watch this, this coming sun huh? or should say sat mid night? heehee. For those who are going to the Half marathon run might be the earliest bird to see this sight.

[Miracle]

Btw it's 12.30am today.

But looking at the sky (cloudy) and considering the fact it's 初三, if you're lucky, you will still only see one "moon" coz the other will still be blocked by Earth's shadow or clouds. :(

[LooK]

Can anybody her c it??

I juz went to the windows to look.. nt even one mooon!!!! :bang: =))

[darkmaul]

no moon leh.... i only see dark cloud... sengkang going to rain?:whistling

[darkmaul]

bluff ppl one... cant see anything... waste of time...........:cry:

[Miracle]

Aiya... Go sleep liao lar. =))

Later you see Mars you thought is the moon. =))

[rookiyong]

It has been reported in the news that it is a hoax. The distance is 970 times that of the distance from Earth to Moon (correct me if I get the figure wrong), so at most it will appear like a normal star.

It would appear with the size of the Moon if Mars is proportionally larger than the Moon in diameter. =))
