Greetings, and welcome. Here you will out about the planet Mars in recent news events,


Mars to Swing Close to Earth This Weekend (10/29/05)

For the second time in nearly 60,000 years, the Red Planet will swing unusually close to Earth this weekend, appearing as a yellow twinkle in the night sky. Although Mars' will approach close to Earth in October, 2005 -- it will not come as close as its record-breaking approach in 2003, when it hovered from 35 million miles away.

However, skygazers this time around will be able to glimpse the fourth rock from the sun, because it will glow above the horizon. According to Kelly Beatty, Executive Editor of Sky & Telescope magazine, ``This is the best we're going to see Mars, so we should strike the iron while it is hot,''

On Saturday, Mars' orbit will bring it 43.1 million miles away from Earth, with its closest pass scheduled for 11:25 p.m. EDT (8:25 PST). The two planets, which are normally separated by about 140 million miles, will not come this close again until 2018.

Mars will still seem small to the naked eye, appearing about the size of a penny seen from 620 feet away. "The rust-colored planet will be at its brightest this weekend, and no celestial body in that part of the sky will be as luminous," Beatty said. Most backyard telescopes will see Mars as a small, brilliant ball. Observers with more powerful instruments might be able to discern details on the planet's surface, including its southern ice cap and white clouds.

The orbiting Hubble Space Telescope will train its eyes on Mars during the passing, snapping close-ups as it did in 2003.
