MARS IS SPECTACULAR!

I wish I had a telescope to see Mars early tomorrow morning, but even without one, the view will be spectacular. It was this morning. It was hanging up there over the school at 5:00 a.m. and was as spectacular as anything I've seen in the sky that is supposed to be there. I have a full view of it right outside my front door at that hour and it's something you'll never forget. Beam me up, Scottie!

Since some weather might be moving this way, I wanted be sure to get a look at it this morning. Tomorrow morning is the big event as it will be the closest to earth in 60,000 years, give or take a few thousand. It's well worth crawling out of bed to see. The next time when it's going to be this close again is 285 years away.
