| Living on earth has become so much of a habit that we forget the existence of other planets and heavenly bodies around us. But nature keeps us reminding about its other creations in the universe as well. |

 The last time Mars swung so close to Earth, Hindu seers foretold of war, European astrologers predicted love and Germany reported a rash in UFO sightings.
This is the spell cast by planetary alignment. Such extreme predictions and odd events seem entirely possible this week as Mars and Earth edge together once more.
 On Sunday, October 30, the Red Planet will be 69.4 million kilometers from Earth-a distance that in galactic terms is less than wafer-thin and will not be equaled until 2018. In the run up to Sunday, but also for much of November, Mars will appear as a big orangey-yellow "star" in the east, an object so bright that it should be visible in almost any conditions of light pollution, says JS publication, Sky & Telescope. Weather permitting, on Earth and Also on Mars, anyone with a modest telescope should be able to pick out some of the features that make Mars so special. |
