b'\n_START_ARTICLE_\nMars hoax\n_START_SECTION_\nAlkuper\xc3\xa4\n_START_PARAGRAPH_\nMars hoax esiintyi ensimm\xc3\xa4isen kerran vuonna 2003, s\xc3\xa4hk\xc3\xb6postiotsakkeella "Mars Spectacular". Viestiss\xc3\xa4 oli kuvia Marsista ja t\xc3\xa4ydest\xc3\xa4 kuusta vierekk\xc3\xa4in ja englanninkielinen teksti:_NEWLINE_\xc2\xbbThe Red Planet is about to be spectacular! This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter\'s gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again._NEWLINE_The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34649589 km of Earth and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest 75-power magnification Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. Mars will be easy to spot. At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10 p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m._NEWLINE_By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30 a.m. That\'s pretty convenient to see something that no human being has seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month. Share this with your children and grandchildren. NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN. \xc2\xbb_NEWLINE_Viestin sis\xc3\xa4ll\xc3\xb6ss\xc3\xa4 ei ole virhett\xc3\xa4, mutta erityisesti lause "At a modest 75-power magnification Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye" on ymm\xc3\xa4rretty v\xc3\xa4\xc3\xa4rin. Viestin mukaan Mars n\xc3\xa4ytt\xc3\xa4isi siis 75-kertaiseksi suurennettuna t\xc3\xa4ysikuun kokoiselta. Mars hoaxin mukaisessa tulkinnassa t\xc3\xa4t\xc3\xa4 suurennusta ei ole otettu huomioon.'
