NF)W YORK <t*.P' Tonight you
■ind all other F)aithlings now liv-
ing will be as close to Mars as
you'll ever get—unless science
manages somehow to set up a
| passenger service and you have
I th" nerve to take the trip.
Tonight at about II p. tit. est our
Flarth and its sister of the heavens
will move to within 3o.l million
miles of ort" another. No mattei
what you may think, that is close.
Why. theie are times when those
two gyrating planets are 2:.o rnil-
{ lion tittles apart!
The last time they were closer
| than they will he tonight was ill
; r.l^4. The next time they will be
it little closer will be several cen-
turies from now. It's possible foi
i them to get as close as HH.HrW IMMI
j miles. According to astronomical
' mathematicians, they won't be
that close until the year 27X,2fi4,
which, by the way is 27'i.20H years
r.iim now.
