The Red Planet is about to be spectacular! This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest
approach between the two planets in recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on
Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long
as 60,000 years before it happens again. The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be
(next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. Mars will be easy
to spot. At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m.
By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30a.m. That's pretty
convenient to see something that no human being has seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow
progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month. Share this with your children and grandchildren. NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS
AGAIN
Mars is closest ever in 73,000 years on August 27th and coincidently it falls on the New Moon (which symbolizes not light but darkness to masons) so
it will be well visable to the world. Will the Illuminati do something on such a date?
Occultists all throughout history have started wars when mars is most close...
Mars is named after the Roman Pagan God of War, because to the Romans Mars symbolized blood, because it mars is red and blood is also red so they
named it after him, so they worship mars as a symbol of the Pagan God of war...
The Sky will also be some 100 times more red on that date...
