What To Expect to See In The Sky
On Sunday evening, look about one-third of the way up from the south-southwest horizon about an hour after sunset to see a 25-percent-illuminated waxing crescent moon. Mars will sit about 6 degrees to the right of the moon. The Red Planet is now setting about 5 hours after sundown.
On Sunday evening, look about one-third of the way up from the south-southwest horizon about an hour after sunset to see a 25-percent-illuminated waxing crescent moon. Mars will sit about 6 degrees to the right of the moon. The Red Planet is now setting about 5 hours after sundown.
As we have noted many times before, your clenched fist is roughly equal to 10 degrees when held at arm's length. So Mars will appear just over "half a fist" from the moon.
If you own a telescope, even a moderately large one, I wouldn't really bother training it on Mars. The planet's disk has now shrunk down to less than 6 and one-half arc seconds in diameter. Put another way, you would need a magnification of no less than 280 power to enlarge Mars to the apparent size of the moon as seen with the naked eye. For most instruments, Mars will resemble nothing more than a pumpkin-hued circular dot of light.
And of course, because the moon is so much nearer to Earth than Mars — about 239,500 miles (385,200 km) away — the natural satellite appears to move much more rapidly against the background stars than the Red Planet does. The moon will pass to the north of Mars during the mid-to-late morning daytime hours of Monday. Both Mars and the moon will have long since set and will be below the horizon as seen from North America. So on Sunday evening, the moon will be approaching Mars, but 24 hours later, the satellite will be well to the upper left of Mars and leaving the Red Planet far behind.

Doomsday, who, what, and when?
The Millerites, April 23, 1843
A New England farmer named William Miller, after several years of very careful study of his Bible, concluded that God's chosen time to destroy the world could be divided from the strict literal interpretation of scripture. As he explained to anyone who would listen, the world would end sometime between March 21, 1843 and March 21, 1844. He preached and published enough to eventually lead thousands of followers (known as Millerites), who decided that the actual date was April 23, 1843. Many sold or gave away their possessions, assuming they would not be needed; though when April 23 arrived (but Jesus didn't), the group eventually disbanded — some of them forming what is now the Seventh Day Adventists.
Mormon Armageddon, 1891 or earlier
Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon church, called a meeting of his church leaders in February 1835 to tell them that he had spoken to God recently, and during their conversation, he learned that Jesus would return within the next 56 years, after which the End Times would begin promptly.
Halley's Comet, 1910
In 1881, an astronomer discovered through spectral analysis that comet tails include a deadly gas called cyanogen (related, as the name implies, to cyanide). This was of only passing interest until someone realized that Earth would pass through the tail of Halley's comet in 1910. Would everyone on the planet be bathed in deadly toxic gas? That was the speculation reprinted on the front pages of The New York Times and other newspapers, resulting in a widespread panic across the United States and abroad. Finally, even-headed scientists explained that there was nothing to fear.
Pat Robertson, 1982
In May 1980, televangelist and Christian Coalition founder Pat Robertson startled and alarmed many when — contrary to Matthew 24:36 ("No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven ...") he informed his "700 Club" TV show audience around the world that he knew when the world would end. "I guarantee you by the end of 1982 there is going to be a judgment on the world," Robertson said.
Heaven's Gate, 1997
When comet Hale-Bopp appeared in 1997, rumors surfaced that an alien spacecraft was following the comet — covered up, of course, by NASA and the astronomical community. Though the claim was refuted by astronomers (and could be refuted by anyone with a good telescope), the rumors were publicized on Art Bell's paranormal radio talk show "Coast to Coast AM." These claims inspired a San Diego UFO cult named Heaven's Gate to conclude that the world would end soon. The world did indeed end for 39 of the cult members, who committed suicide on March 26, 1997.
Y2K, Jan. 1, 2000
As the last century drew to a close, many people grew concerned that computers might bring about doomsday. The problem, first noted in the early 1970s, was that many computers would not be able to tell the difference between 2000 and 1900 dates. No one was really sure what that would do, but many suggested catastrophic problems ranging from vast blackouts to nuclear holocaust. Gun sales jumped and survivalists prepared to live in bunkers, but the new millennium began with only a few glitches.
May 5, 2000
In case the Y2K bug didn't do us in, global catastrophe was assured by Richard Noone, author of the 1997 book "5/5/2000 Ice: the Ultimate Disaster" (Three Rivers Press). According to Noone, the Antarctic ice mass would be three miles thick by May 5, 2000 — a date in which the planets would be aligned in the heavens, somehow resulting in a global icy death (or at least a lot of book sales).
Nostradamus, August 1999
The heavily obfuscated and metaphorical writings of Michel de Nostrdame have intrigued people for over 400 years. His writings, the accuracy of which relies heavily upon very flexible interpretations, have been translated and re-translated in dozens of different versions. One of the most famous quatrains read, "The year 1999, seventh month / From the sky will come great king of terror." Many Nostradamus devotees grew concerned that this was the famed prognosticator's vision of Armageddon. People are still trying to squeeze this one into fit their rumination.
God's Church Ministry, Fall 2008
According to God's Church minister Ronald Weinland, the end times are upon us-- again. His 2006 book "2008: God's Final Witness" (The-End.Com, 2006) states that hundreds of millions of people will die, and by the end of 2006, "there will be a maximum time of two years remaining before the world will be plunged into the worst time of all human history. By the fall of 2008, the United States will have collapsed as a world power, and no longer exist as an independent nation." As the book notes, "Ronald Weinland places his reputation on the line as the end-time prophet of God."
Harold Camping, 2011
In May 2011, radio preacher Harold Camping drew international media attention with his predictions that Judgment Day would come on May 21, kicked off by earthquakes around the global and a rapture of the faithful. According to Camping, this dreadful day would be followed by months of torment and the end of the world on Oct. 21.
When May 21 passed quietly, Camping retreated from the limelight for a brief time before announcing that Judgment Day had, in fact, come and gone on that date. Instead of physical earthquakes, Camping wrote on the website of his radio station, Family Radio, May 21 brought spiritual earthquakes, and God completed judging souls. Now Camping contends that the end of the world will indeed come on Oct. 21, albeit quietly and without fire and brimstone.
Who Now? Oh, just about everyone.

Proof Andrew Breitbart Was Actually Killed To Conceal PizzaGate Story!!!
Trump Nominates Globalist Soros Stooge Munchin For Treasury First Trump let what he said he was going to arrest Hillary and instead he let Hillary off the hook with the emails. So, what the hell is going on? He's filling his cabinet with Globalists from the CFR. He's bringing Warhawks into his innermost circle. He wants to bring waterboarding back. I think we should be very concerned about him and what he is doing? Wait until you hear these videos!

SIRIUS -IS THE BRIGHT BALL PEOPLE -R- SEEING! METEOR! Yellowstone!
There are a number of people who think they are seeing a big mysterious ball in the sky. It's Sirius A and its binary star Sirius B
This next video is going viral.

On Saturday, Oct. 14th The FAA Warned Pilots there would be a no-fly zone in parts of Montana. Well, the rocket launched and it not only caused one earthquake but, two small earthquakes. One on each side, exactly in the same distance away from where the rocket was launched.
See this corresponding video.
In 2015 the Pentagon released FOIA documents with plans to replace the Minuteman III ICBM with a new rocket, one that would launch from the same silos in Montana and South Dakota where missiles sit as of this report in 2015. However, America's only land-based ICBM is the Minuteman III ICBM. These were supposed to be replaced in 2020, but in 2007 Congress and the Obama administration decided to keep the weapons on alert until 2030.
Each missile can carry up to three nuclear warheads, which have a yield in the range of 300 to 500 kilotons. Peaking at 1,000 missiles in the 1970s, the current U.S. force consists of 450 Minuteman-III missiles in missile silos around Malmstrom AFB, Montana; Minot AFB, North Dakota; and F.E. Warren AFB, Wyoming.
As of 2016, the LGM-30G Minuteman III version is the only land-based ICBM in service in the United States.
Malmstrom AFB is one of three US Air Force Bases that maintains and operates the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile. The 341st Missile Wing reports directly to Twentieth Air Force at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming. It is part of Global Strike Command headquartered at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana.
Built 1941
In use 1941 to present.
