As if executing a cosmic air kiss, Earth and Mars will come as close as they desire in the wee hours of Wednesday during an historical event that has captivated the attention of skywatchers around the globe.

 

The two planets will be separated by 34,646,418 miles (55,758,006 kilometers) at 5:51 a.m. ET (1051 GMT) on Aug. 27.

 

 

Sorry for the short notice, should have posted this sooner :embarass:

not I, for I, Dudde, was probably asleep:P

I went to bed about an hour before sunrise that day, because I had no school that day and was celebrating with some game-time^_^

(I rarely get chances to play my playstation, so you'd better believe when night comes and everybody goes to bed, I'm PLAYING! :D)

I checked out Mars during the blackout period in TOronto.

No city lights made for a nice viewing.

 

:)
