Mars
I am not to informed of Astronomy as most on this newsgroup are - I live in
Central NJ - early this morning about 4:30 AM I looked up in the southern sky and saw a bright Yellow Star (usually stars I see are white) this was larger than what I usually see - I have no telescope - just a cheap pair of binoculars I use for back yard birding -I am wondering if it was Mars I saw - About thirty miles away in Milford,NJ ( Hunterdon County) an earthquake hit about 4PM - also wondering if Mars had an effect on this event - would appreciate some information - please don't be critical of my lack of knowledge |

MARS has ZERO effect on the Earth, it's still over 34 MILLION miles from Earth. Well, Mars certainly doesn't cause noticable earthquakes, although I think we can detect a slight perterbation of the Earth's orbit with sufficiently delicate instruments and/or over a long enough timespan. For the significant figures quoted, and in this context, Starlord is quite right; 0.0 effects for sure. -- Regards Fred Remove FFFf to reply, please |
