MARS AT 4:51 A.M.

It was a beautiful clear night and Mars put on an unbelievable show. I think it was closest to earth at 4:51 a.m. on this day and as I was gazing at it, I wondered at the millions of people who were also doing the same thing.

Even without a telescope, and not very good eyes, the impact of that thing just hanging up there, the brightest thing in the sky by far, except for the moon, was spectacular. All I had to do was walk out my front door and there it was waiting for me. It wasn't in the details that I watched it.
