it can be seen with the naked eye and is in the northwestern sky, with a cheap telescope you can really see reds, greens, ect. very bright colors when looking thru scope

I received an email from a friend that basically said that mars rotation around the sun would bring the red planet close enough to the earth to be viewable in the month of august.....Supposedly this is an event that only happens roughly every 60,000 years ...does anyone know whether is any truth to this or if its just the result of somegeeks over reacting imagination? If its true its something i personally would like to see.....let me know!!!

I'm not talking about parallel universe here, I mean what lies beyond the beyond? I know this is pure speculation, but I haven't heard of a logical theory out there. I know this is also one of those questions that is probably unanswerable, but why can't our brains wrap around infinity..........or nothingness?

Time would go backwards and so would your life. When you got back to the beginning of your life, time would then move forward at a normal pace till you reach that backwards stage, then you slowly go backwards getting younger each time enjoying life over and over again! Could you live like this?

Is there an "Astronomy for dummies"?

If the blackholes actually exist, then what happens when two of them collide? (unlikely phenomenon but not completely impossible)

Of course this takes millions of years.

If you think yes, how long do you think it will take before we will be capable of doing so?

Well, the mass of Earth is 5.98 x 10^24 kg and out ATM is designated as 1.

Venus is 4.87 x 10^24 kg..... both smaller and less dense than Earth, yet it's ATM is 90 times our.

Mars mass is 6.42 x 10²³ kg.... smaller by a whole order of magnitude, yet the ATM is only 1% of Earth's.

Obviously, atmospheric density is not a function of mass or gravity. And it's also obvious that Mars once had an atmosphere due to the presence of water erosion paterns on it's surface. So what happened to Mars' atmosphere? Why did it erode away?

And why is Venus' atmosphre so thick compared to ours when it is smaller and less dense?

On 27th August Mars is going to be visible to the naked eye as big as the Moon. What time should we look out into the sky if you are based in the Gulf Coast area of the United States? Which direction should we look?

surely they should keep accelerating and eventually get just below the speed of light? or does this acceleration take too long to achieve?

Do you think it really looks like the face of a person?

What are the dimensions of it- how wide, how high, etc.?

And since erosion occurs on Mars (perhaps the dynamics there are quite different from erosion on earth), then why hasn't the face either been obliterated or at least distorted by dust storms?

Could it be that we are seeing too much into the face- that perhaps it really is a caprice of nature?

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?

I don't mean to sound like a religion basher but I don't get it. Why do people have more faith in religion than in scientific explanations such as the Big Bang? I can't honestly believe that we came from a man in the sky. I have to go by the facts, and most of the facts give different explanations for our existence…. and most of these explanations are based off of years and years of scientific research. I have more faith in the Big Bang and the Big Crunch than I do in the man in the sky.

Have we really landed on the moon? If so, why can no-one see the stuff we felt behind? Look at the lunar lander pics. There should be a hole in the ground from the landing rocket, and there are other things wrong with this story.

If sun is made up of gases, then the gases should decrease in density gradually with height. But, since we are able to see some boundary, it means that there is a sudden decrease in density at that part of the sun..? Why is it so..?
