Mars was at the closest point to the Earth last Tuesday (December 18) for the entire 2007, and though it didn’t get as big as the moon in our night sky, it’s still an added beauty to the heavens at night.

You can see Mars as a bright red “star” in the night sky any day until 2016!

How can you find it? At nightfall, look in the east and you’ll find a really bright reddish star. You’ll know that that’s mars because it doesn’t twinkle!

I hope you like stargazing, it’s a nice way to relax, and helps us appreciate the beauty of creation.
