Some people are posting a story that Mars will soon be at its closest point to Earth in 50,000 years.

Sorry, but it's not true.

Mars actually made its closest pass to Earth in many centuries in August of 2003. It was quite bright then, but it still looked only like a bright star.

Mars' best showing this year comes in late October and early November.
It will look like a bright orange star, and will briefly shine as the third-brightest object in the night sky after the Moon and the planet Venus.

For August, Mars rises around midnight. It's already quite bright, so it's pretty easy to pick out.

Yeah - but I'm far superior in intellect, ability and even looks - to most humans. Especially my ex's latest choices. :->

Hrm.... maybe that's my problem!

Sorry - one track mind here.

Looks? :-)
Ability? I can show you my curriculum vitae.
Intellect? Hopefully you have the ability to figure that one out!
Any other proof.... Right after I prove the existence of God. :-P

Actually Man proved that god does not exist due to the existance of the Babelfish. So there is no need to prove his existence. :P

His existence? :-)
Its existence.

I know :-) I excel at being difficult.
Just downloaded the 1st episode of the new Dr. Who - figured I'd give it a watch. Seen it?

I've noticed your diffcult level is fairly high.
