Mars

At 2350hrs tonight Mars will be 56 million kilometres away.
As I’m sure you’re heard, it will be the closest it’s been in around 60,000 years, and the closest it will be for about another 60,000.

What was it like back then, to look up and see this glittering red light? What did the neanderthals think it was? Were they scared?
What will it be like in the future? Will there be humans to witness it? Will there be some other creatures with technology?

Sometimes, when you think of the details, the immensity of Time and the Universe makes you sit back and go “Whoa.”
