the apparation of mars by jeffery d beish was what i got when i googled mars 2007. there are graphs and charts explaining what features on mars you will be able to see and when. i guess the best time will be in dec. but read it yourself if you are really interested. for some reason it has a higher elevation this yr but you will still need a small telescope to see the features that they are talking about. i had to write everyone i sent this thing to and who sent it to me to tell them not to send it on. lol i did think i should be scared if mars got within 34 miles of the earth. hehe. guess this will teach me to study about something first. but it did sound really cool. later.
