Mars is pictured in an image made with the Hubble Space Telescope when the planet was 50 million miles from Earth on May 12, 2016.
Maybe I’m missing something, but is there like a story every few months where Mars makes some “closest approach” in X years?
It still isnt going to appear as anything other than a red dot to your eyes.
We know now that in the early years of the twenty-first century this world was being watched closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own. We know now that as human beings busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacence people went to and fro over the earth about their little affairs, serene in the assurance of their dominion over this small spinning fragment of solar driftwood which by chance or design man has inherited out of the dark mystery of Time and Space. Yet across an immense ethereal gulf, minds that are to our minds as ours are to the beasts in the jungle, intellects vast, cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.
Perhaps this has something to do with recent earthquake and volcanic activity.
Just keep that planet away from me.
The Martians are attempting to attack Erf?
So what.
I saw it last night. It was brightest object in sky..............
