MARS BECOMES AN URBAN LEGEND
Yes, even the middle school had an announcement about Mars getting closest to the Earth, maybe getting the information from HERE. A quote from that site:Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.
Mars will be easy to spot. At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m.
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 12:30a.m. That's pretty convenient to see something that no human being 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 with your children and grandchildren.
NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN
However, the real scoop is this:
Is it true?
Not only is this not true for this year, at least part of it is not true ever.
"Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye."If Mars ever looked as large as the moon, everyone on Earth would probably die very soon.
