Ugh, well obviously Mars isn't going to be crashing into the Earth.

Damn I feel like a dumby now I turned on the tv after reading this thread and put on cnn for a bit, then came back to the thread to find such a simple answer.

EDIT: click on skymaps!!!!!

Heh heh, I really should get out more...

You might get a chance to see Uranus

Oh dear.

Unfortunately I hardly ever get the chance for a clear view of the stars, as living in Britain the sky is very rarely free of clouds and when it is light pollution spoils the scene somewhat. So the vast likliehood is that Ill miss out on this visual feast of astronomic proportions. Sorry, and all that.

Jimmy was actually right about something, I'm amazed.

[Zaladane]

Bigger and Redder here tonight, it's just gonna keep on getting so for awhile.

[Rekuja]

one question... can we new-zealanders see it

[KnightofNachos]

Yep. As Jimmy said, it's supposedly to be better in the southern hemisphere than the northern.

[Jimmy Onestroke]

It's an orange dot. Yay.

[Solitude]

it's supposed to be the closest in 50,000yrs.my local newspaper astrologer is going nuts over it.

[darkwizard]

Wow, I wonder how close it's gonna get

[battousai]

it's said to get almost as big as the moon(seen that is)

i was sitting down watching news. And next thing u know they show a telescope vision of Mars. And it was close! and it is coming very fast to earth. i'm not sure if it will crush us and we all go splat so yeah.... you guys heard of it?

August is the best time to view Mars cause its closest. I think that Mars is suppose to be closer to Earth this year than it has been for a few thousand years. So as much as I'd like to be crushed by Mars, chances are it won't happen

That's a load of crap. It'll appear as a bright star to the naked eye.

[Jimmy Onestroke]

Yep. Orange dot. Seen it a couple of nights. Purdy.
