OT
whoops! Ibby and olcs--apologies--seems this is an old email--mars did come closer to earth on aug 27, 2003. It was 6 times larger than normal and 85 times brighter. It came within 35 million miles of earth, and at that time if you were peering thru a scope with 75 power magnification--you could see it. or we could wait another 60,000 yrs--that's when this will happen again.....olcs--glad to awaken you! madelyn
