The astrology group. Is this true or another
hoax that has been perpetrated upon me? If it is true, what effect do you
feel that it will have on the various markets? Norman how do you feel
about this? Ira.

face=Arial color=#000000 size=4 FAMILY="SANSSERIF">Never again in your (or my)
lifetime will the Red Planet be so spectacular. This month and next Earth is
catching up with Mars, 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. The
encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589
miles 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 he
naked eye. Mars will be easy to spot. At the beginning of August Mars will rise
in the east at 10 p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m. But 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 when it
comes to seeing something that no human 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! No one alive today will ever see
this again.
