Take your kids outside and show them Mars.

This is the best view of Mars the UK will get for 13 years and it's a lovely clear night. It's the bright peach coloured one to the right of the moon.

 

It's bloody raining in Nottingham so no Mars here

 

cheers for that - the moon's bright tonight

 

Thanks Don......amazing view

I did see it on the way home,glad you reminded me though. Oh and thanks for starting a debate in our house of whether man landed on the moon or not. (clap)

What's that big bright star thing to the right of Mars?

Mars, if that's what I'm looking at, is huge. Looks bigger than the moon.

 

Are we looking at that bright star? The orangey coloured one?

 

RE: Are we looking at that bright star? The orangey coloured one?

yes !!!! The one with the tripody alien thingies on it !!!

 

Got your message mate

We were having one of those rare family meals out, celebrating summart. Anyway, when we got outside the moon was behind lots of cloud, that's the south for you. I can now see the moon but still too murky to detect a peachy Mars. Grrr, as we say round here. Cheers anyway fella.

 

Got yours too.

A cyber-woman calling me "mate."

Tres etrange.

 

Soz

Texting a tarn number, that's just daft.

 

Ah, so that's the planet my wife is on!

It was great.

We're having a byte to eat next week.

Phish and chips. Pff-ff-ff!

 

looks great from here

 

It's a pity it's so close to the full moon.

We've been following the progress of Mars for a couple of weeks now. When the moon was only a sliver Mars really was bright.

 

Is it still there?
