Mars Spotting
2 Days ago, it was the when Mars was the closest to earth. It’s the closest it has been for 60,000 years and will not be this close again until 2287. Click here. It’s almost impossible to see it here in Singapore coz it’s way too bright. But KL asked me to look into the sky and spot the brightest star and that was supposed to be Mars. I think I spotted it - it’s yellow!
KL went with his friends to somewhere out of the city to try to see it. Unfortunately, it was too cloudy and so they went home. I wonder why everyone is so interesting in spotting Mars? Are they hoping to spot some little green men on it?
Anyway, I remembered a stupid song we used to sing when we were little. Promise not to laugh, it goes like this:
In the land of Mars,
where the ladies don’t wear bras.
But the men don’t care,
coz they don’t wear underwear.
