Mars, Earth - Closest Approach in Recorded History
Summary:
Email claims that Earth and Mars will have the closest approach in recorded history in August and will be a spectacular site for stargazers.
Status:
Was true in 2003, but is now outdated.
Example:(Submitted, May 2005)
The Red Planet is about to be spectacular! This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter’s gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again.
The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest 75-power magnification Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. Mars will be easy to spot. At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m. By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30a.m. That’s pretty convenient to see something that no human being has seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month.

NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN!

2003 年八月二十七日台北時間 17:51，地球與火星中心相距僅 55,758,006 公里，是自西元前 57,617 年至今，將近六萬年來最接近的一刻，下一次則要等到西元 2287 年的八月二十八日。①
地球上望遠鏡中的火星大部分時間都只是一個橘紅色的模糊小圓，只有在「衝」前後一兩個月能夠看清火星表面的明暗特徵、雲、塵暴，以及極冠的變化等。雖然火星軌道和地球一樣，是接近圓形的橢圓，但火星軌道的離心率較高，以地球來說，在近日點和遠日點時與太陽的距離只差 480 萬公里左右，但在火星的差距則高達 4,320 萬公里。所以每次火星衝發生時，依火星當時在其軌道上的位置，狀況也各不相同。觀測條件最佳的「大衝」發生在火星過近日點附近時，此時火星與地球的距離最接近，但這種機會平均每十六年才會有兩到三次。火星在近日點衝時視直徑可達 25.1"，足足比遠日點衝時的 13.8" 大上 1.8 倍。今年的火星大接近發生在台北時間八月二十七日 17:51，地球與火星中心相距僅 55,758,006 公里，是自西元前 57,617 年至今，將近六萬年來最接近的一刻，下一次則要等到西元 2287 年的八月二十八日。
