Shrouded in Darkness
Today the planet Mars passes closer to the Earth that it has in a long, long time. Since astronomers calculate that this is the closest it has been in the last 60,000 years, for young earth creationists this means that it is the closest it has ever been.
As many of you will know I have long been a proponent of Martian exploration. Mrs H will tell you that I am always looking forward to buying Aidie his first telescope. But even if he was old enough to have one now, it would be a total waste tonight. The UK is inconveniently covered with clouds.
Since Mars will appear just about as bright for the next few weeks, I am hopeful that the clouds will break for at least one evening.
