Interesting synchronicity with the “Blood Moon” eclipse occurring at this opposition…
(At least this time around, I haven’t seen a slew of emails that “Mars is at its Closest Approach in Forever!” which I’ve seen nearly every year since the early 2000’s ;)
Yeah, that was pretty comical, and still is when it comes up. About ten years ago the claim was that Mars was closer than any time in the last 40 million years. It’s obvious that someone putting out something that specific is getting their jollies out of it, or is a nutbar.
