  • A friend of mine told me an astronomically credible friend of his told him that August 2010 will be very historically special for Mars viewing, culminating on August 27. It will be closer than ever in thousands of years, ect. Any elaboration from a professional would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • @socialistcontainment This podcast actually addresses that hoax email :-) Jane

  • i wonder they named the stars after greek gods and creatures ???

  • @reksub10 Exacly you re commenting just because you can, you are commenting only to tell sth wheather you understand or not the topic or the comment...

  • @4V14T10N in your opinion ,you should say ,how do you know what i know ,assuming things just makes you cheeky bastard to not only me but others aswell...the reson i comment is because i can

  • @reksub10 I am sorry, but i felt the need to ask, WHY? why are you commenting obviously you have no idea about aviation, space, astronomy or astrophysics of any sort... So WHY?

  • @socialistcontainment Yeah, I don't know much about any of this. But two days ago, I was driving by San Francisco and I saw a huge red star, I thought it was an UFO lol. I told my brother wtf is that, that's to big to be a star... But it was flashing red/orange and didn't move. Nasa also announced that Mars has been pushed out of orbit and will come really close and effect our gravity soon.

  • Nevermind my previous August Mars 2010 question.  I happened to hear you briefly dismiss the Mars e-mail hoax after I posted my question and looked it up myself. Oh well, I got a great view of Hale-Bopp on a clear night when I wasn't even looking for it and that will probably be my lifetime astronomical encounter.

  • i counted 47 within' 2 hours here in ohio

  • I have seen some very nice meteors so far, mostly blue-green.
