blackdog~ 0 Posted July 14, 2003 Grab your telescopes because it's time to view Mars... next chance will be in 60,000 years. Link: http://www.space.com/spacewatch/mars_preview_021108.html According to the news... in the coming days you should be able to look up with your naked eye and right below the moon will be mars, about 1/40th the size.

FSPilot 0 Posted July 14, 2003 All I've got is a wrinkled and stained wheel-chart from a few years ago. Â This is what I call budget cuts. "Dad, this chart still has the hale-bopp comet on it" "Just ignore it son" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
