Ira,
The Martian story is true to my
knowledge. Our local county museum is holding
a special exhibit about Mars in honor of the
occassion. If you would like to take
advantage of Mars being so close, check <A

the
airfare to Mars will never be cheaper in our
lifetime. <G>
Regards,
Norman

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
