By the time 200 years we all die oredi ..Originally posted by cck_190:For those who said is a hoax, i'm sorry to say u r wrong! It is true.
Planet Mars WAS visible in the sky and quite big too starting last night, at 12.30am it was the biggest but not as large as the moon. Only 1/10 the moon size.At 5 am, it was just an orange dot in the sky...And if you noticed, last night the sky was unusually clear in Singapore. You could actually spot many stars, a moon and mars.
Too bad for those who did not see it...you'll have to wait another 200 years![]()
