Mars

[louiselux]

On the 27th of August Mars will be at its brightest since 57,000 BC. So that means the last people to see it like this bright were Neanderthal men. To give some sense of scale, Venus at its very brightest registers -4 on the start brightness scale thingy (technical term there), and Mars will register -2.9. So, oooh!

And also, I need to go to bed.
