I got one of those “send this to all your friends” e-mails–which usually means it’s BUNK, BTW–that in a couple days, we’ll get our best view in our lifetimes of the planet Mars. Supposedly, it won’t be this close again until the year 2287. The e-mail indicated that tomorrow [Wednesday] night, with a 75 power telescope, Mars will appear as large as the moon does to the naked eye.

Don’t know if THAT’S true–but it DOES give me an excuse to post the photo, which I think is pretty cool!
