Mars Opposition 8th April 2014

Every two years, Mars reaches a point in its orbit called "opposition," when the planet lies directly opposite the sun in Earth's sky. This means Mars rises near sunset and remains visible all night long as it moves nearly overhead across the night sky. It will be a bright burnt orange color and almost 10 times brighter than the brightest stars in the sky. At their closest point next week, Mars and Earth will "only" be about 57 million miles apart. Another treat awaits April 14, when the full moon also will appear near Mars. Mars won't appear this big and bright again until its next "opposition" on May 22, 2016.

France's new Socialist president owns three holiday homes in the Riviera resort of Cannes, valued at almost £1 million. It will reinforce accusations that Hollande is a “gauche caviar”, or “Left-wing caviar” — the Gallic equivalent of a champagne Socialist. As well as the spacious Paris apartment he shares with Valerie Trierweiler, Mr Hollande owns a palatial villa in Mougins, the hill-top Cannes suburb where artist Pablo Picasso used to live. It is valued by the Official Journal at 800,000 euros (£642,000), and is just a short drive from Hollande’s two flats close to the promenade in Cannes. They are priced at 230,000 euros (£185,000) and 140,000 euros (£112,000). Mr Hollande has promised to cut his pay by 30 per cent after he is officially sworn in as president next week, but he will still be on 156,000 (£125,000) a year, plus fabulous expenses and other perks. Vive Le Socialism.

Observers have dubbed the possible departure of Greece as the ‘Grexit’. Greek newspaper Imerisia reported that the government has just £1.2billion left in its coffers – enough to continue for only a few days. Last night there were also rumours of an unofficial ‘grey market’ in the drachma – the old Greek currency – springing up in anticipation of the exit. Reminds me of the days when Labour was booted out of government. "Sorry - but there's no money left - we've spent it all".
