Mars proximity
 ------------
    Mars comes to his opposition, when he, Earth, and Sun are lined up,
on November 7th. However, the closest distance between Mars and Earth
occurs on October 29th, a week earlier. Special Mars viewing sessions
are planned by many astronomy centers. Please ask at your local one
for late news on such sessions. Understand that Mars is RIGHT NOW, as
you read this as much as a month before proximity, the brightest
'star' in the east in late evening. Do NOT wait until the proximity
date to look for Mars! Enjoy him at other starviewings all thru
October.
