Mars will be closer than ever tomorrow. Usually 166 million miles away, on Wednesday, Mars will be just 35 million miles away. And that does mean New Yorkers can see the red planet. Michael O'Gara, Amateur Astronomers Association of NY President tells the Daily News, "If you want to find Mars, look over Brooklyn. It will be really an incredible sight, like a very big, very bright peach star." The Daily News further explains: It will be shine the brightest after the moon, and won't twinkle like a star. Just look southeast, away from a place with buildings and trees.
Optimal viewing time is 5:51AM. Space.com also says contrary to rumor, there will be no collision between Earth and Mars. And keep in mind, if you miss it, the next time to see Mars so close will be August 28, 2287

"Look over Brooklyn." Some good that does us in Brooklyn!
Maybe it's "If in Brooklyn, look up"?
I think in Brooklyn we look over Long Island. That is everyone looks east (or south-east).
You can't miss it - it's nearly as bright as the moon. I was looking at it the other night with a pair of binoculars, but wasn't even close to being able to make out the "disk" of Mars. I wish I had a decent telescope.
I am tempted to wake up at 5:30 to go outside and view it. We'll see how things are at 5:29.
Echo what Jen said. Although I say that for every early morning astrological event (Why does all the cool shit in the sky happen between 4 and 5:30 in the morning?).
Jen, if you'd like, I'll call you at 5:30 and wake you up.
Oh wait, that'd require me to get up first. Nevermind. *grin*
I'll call you! I can totally wake up at 5:30. It's getting my ass out of bed that's another issue.
Jen, I'll get your ass out of bed, I have a few tricks for that, at least one must do it to you.
Hey, thanks, Dodi. I guess I set myself up for that one. However, one of my scarier qualities is that I can wake up very very early with little trouble.
Jen, you're welcome. To get out of bed at any hour, all one needs is motivation. Finding the motivation is the tricky part, yet there are countless ways to get motivated. Make your conscious mind choose the thought of an action that implies getting out of bed, and make that thought sink in your subconscious mind through repetition, faith and expectancy. The latter never argues, and has infinite power. It is the treasure house within.
Remember, no metter when you get out of bed, you are wonderful!
I'm not kidding :-)
