Scheduled air date: 1998 Jul 27-Aug 02
Mars and Venus approach each other over the next week, until they are within a mere one
degree of each other on the mornings of August 4th and 5th. You can compare the
apparent distance between these two planets each morning with the apparent distance
between the two bright stars nearby, Castor and Pollux.
