[Christoph Petermann]

Hi all

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you Moonbouncers.

Next night the Moon will pass planet Mars very close (around 3.40 UT). In 
parts of the world the Moon will occult Mars (Northern Europe at least). This 
does not happen too often. What makes this event even more "special":

* It is the day of the Mars opposition ! (Opposite side of the sun)
* It is Full Moon
* It is XMAS eve (already).

So take the chance - have a look !
