I got an email from a family member stating that for this entire month that we can see the planet Mars in the night sky, On August 27 th, 2006 Mars will be at it's closes point, from what this e-mail says and I am wondering can anyone tell me where would be a really nice place to go and look for it?
I mean my family & I live in ILL near Chicago IL, and I am trying to find a place where we can go and see the planet that is like open and clear, we have never actually went star gazing before and since this is such an historial moment I don't want us to miss this, they say the next time that these two planets come this close to each other again will be like in 67,000,000 years. Any help that is offered here is very much appericated, I want my family to share this moment together, to share with future genarations to come.
Has anyone else heard about this, About Mars being so close to the earth, that you can see it with an naked eye, at certain times in the evening all this month?
