Closest comet to pass by Mars and earth in a million years .... I think we will be able to see it from North America , but Australia will get the best view ....

From what I understand the comet passes around Mars at 11:28 AM Pacific time , 2:28 PM Eastern time , Oct 19th and can be seen with binoculars or a scope , Australia (Southern Hemisphere) is the best place to see it I am going to try spot it tomorrow around noon .... NASA hopes to get video from Mars satellites so it should be on the news later. http://mars.nasa.gov/comets/sidingspring/ |

As long as I don't accidently see Uranus, I will be fine      _________________ I do all of my own stunts..... most of them are even planned! Ok, Ok.... some of them are planned.. If electricity comes from ELECTRONS, then surely morality comes from MORONS?? |
