if this is true, this is probably worth seeing.

 MARS SPECTACULAR!

 The Red Planet is about to be spectacular! This
 month and next, Earth is
 catching up with Mars in an encounter that will
 culminate in the closest
 approach between the two planets in recorded
 history. The next time Mars
 may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way
 Jupiter's gravity tugs on
 Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be
 certain that Mars has
 not come this close to Earth in the Last 5,000
 years, but it may be as
 long as 60,000 years before it happens again.

 The encounter will culminate on August 27th when
 Mars comes to within
 34,649 589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the
 moon) the brightest
 object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude
 of -2.9 and will
 appear 25..11 arc seconds wide. At a modest 75-power
 magnification

 Mars will look as large as the full moon to the
 naked eye. Mars will be
 easy to spot. At the beginning of August it will
 rise in the east at 10
 p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m.

 The above paragraph is unbelievable!  I can't wait
 to see it!)


 By the end of August when the two planets are
 closest, Mars will rise at
 nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at
 12:30 a.m. That's
 pretty convenient to see something that no human
 being has seen in
 recorded history

 So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to
 see Mars grow
 progressively brighter and brighter throughout the
 month.

 Share this with your children and grandchildren.

  NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL
 EVER SEE THIS AGAIN
