They say Mars is supposed to be as close to Earth tonight as it will be anytime in the near future. Supposed to look like an extra Moon in the sky tonight. Some one needs to post some good shots of it. I am going outside to look but can't see much sky around here.
Nope! Can't see either one!
This goes around every year.
Mars was at its closest to the Earth in 2003 and the difference between the distance then and the distance during a close opposition (when the Earth and Mars are closest in their orbital swing around the sun) was so small that you'd never have noticed any difference.
The reference to the size of the moon was in reference to looking at Mars though a telescope at 100x and not to the naked eye.

WOW! Great auroral display, Jim! That's one thing we miss down in the south. You made a lovely capture of the lights.

Thanks but I don't think there was any auroral thing going on just low moving clouds with a 280 second exposure. I think we are still to far south (@an hour north of Detroit) for that type of sighting.
