On the 27th Aug at 12.30am mars will come to within 34,649,589 miles from earth, and will appeer next to the moon. Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. Mars has not come this close to earth in the last 5,000 years and it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again.

Redhawk ....Time to lay this fairytale aside...... Donating Members 2,657 Member For: 22y 1m 21d Gender: Male Location: In the Ferry on the River Styx, not getting out just yet! Posted 21/08/05 08:04 AM Share Posted 21/08/05 08:04 AM I think this phenomenon was in 2003?Closest it has come in 60,000years, it appeared very bright and very red, just as well it did'nt happen when the Aztecs were in their zenith, the penile blood letting as well as all the virgins and captured enemies sacrificed would have just about wiped out the population of the Central/South American continent.
