Close encounter between Mars and Earth

Washington, June 1: Mars and Earth got unusually cozy drawing closer to each other than they have in more than a decade.

The two planets passed at 120.7 million kilometers (75 million miles) away from each other yesterday night, which NASA said will not happen again until July 31, 2018.

The average distance between Earth and Mars is 225 million kilometers (140 million miles), with the neighboring planets sometimes reaching distances as far as 402.3 million kilometers (250 million miles) when they are diametrically opposite the Sun. 

The last time Mars and Earth came this close was in 2005. 

In 2003, the celestial bodies were within 56.3 million kilometers (35 million miles) -- the nearest they had been in 60,000 years. Stargazers will have to wait until 2287 to see Mars at that distance again, according to NASA. 

Mars has shone particularly bright since mid-May, as it approached and aligned with the Earth and the Sun. 

The Red Planet will stay big and bright through mid-June, after which its intensity will diminish.

"The students will have three days to complete the enrollment process following publication of each list. The merit lists for the remaining seats after admissions conclude for the fifth cut-off, will be announced by respective colleges," Khurana said. 

The centralised Optical Mark Recognition (OMR)forms will be available on Delhi University's website -- www.Du.Ac.In -- and students will have to make the payment through Internet banking.

After announcement of the cut-off list, the students will have to log into their registered account and see the courses and colleges in which their percentage figures in the cut-off list, select the desired combination and then take a print out of the admission form.

"The candidate will then be required to report to the college with the application form and original documents which the admission committee of the respective college will verify and deposit the originals. 

The varsity will also hold an 'open house' for students and parents from June 1-11 at different locations during which any queries regarding the admission process may be taken up.

"An acknowledgement will be given to the student following which they will be required to pay the fee online and key in the acknowledgement number," Khurana said.
