appeared online on the approximation of the night of August 27, the Red Planet to Earth – no more than a joke that has no scientific basis.
Many zines promise that tonight you will see Mars, which is due to the approach to our planet about the size of the moon. Ostensibly this phenomenon persists after 273 years. But all this is a hoax, spread on the internet back in 2003. Since then, rumors of unusual natural phenomena emerge every year with the onset of August. After all, if the Red Planet is really closer to a distance sufficient for such an event, its gravity would produce catastrophic effects.
The head of the Omsk planetarium Vladimir Krupko says that such rumors are spread due to lack of knowledge, especially in astronomy have long since disappeared from the curriculum.
- If that were the case, the astronomers would long ago have gathered in an expedition to Mars Observer. Now this planet is very far from Earth. Soon she will go to the farthest point of the earth’s orbit, disappears from our horizon, and only in about a year and a half we will be able to observe Mars is close enough to Earth that it was bright, noticeable in the sky , – quotes Vladimir Krupko program “Here News” channel “Promotion”.
add that bright celestial phenomena, which was rich in 2014, does not end there. Since October 8, it will be possible to observe a lunar eclipse, which in Siberia would be more noticeable than in the European part of Russia. In December, the sky spilled the next meteor shower.
