DiSathairne, 27 dhen Dòmhair,
bidh a'ghealach a' coinneachadh ris a' phlanaid Mars.
'S e rionnag mhath 's dhearg a tha annn am Mars.
Bidh Mars faisg air a' ghealach
27 dhen Dòmhair aig còig uairean sa' mhadainn (UT=GMT time).
Tha an t-iongantas a' mairsinn uairean ach tha mi a' smaoineachadh
nach fhaic mi e oir tha i glè sgòthach air Reims.
Faicibh ma tha an oidhche brèagha.

Saturday 27th october,
the moon will meet the Mars planet.
Mars is a nice red star.
Mars will be near of the Moon 27th october at 5 AM (UT=GMT Time)
The phenomenon lasts several hour but
I think that I shall not see it because it is cloudy on Reims.
See if the night is nice.

bha i sgòthach aig sia uairean sa' mhadainn ann an glaschu

It was cloudy at six o clock in Glasgow.

I saw nothing
(how would say that in gaelic)

Cha robh dad ri fhaicinn - there was nothing to be seen
Chan fhaca mi dad - I didn't see anything

Bha i sgòthach cuideacht ann an Reims,
Chan fhaca mi dad idir.

It was also cloudy on Reims,
I saw nothing.

Cuideachd (also);
Chan fhaca mi càil, chan fhaca mi sian, chan fhaca mi rud sam bith....

air a' ghealaich - 'S e facal boireannach a th' ann. The moon is feminine.

Chan fhaca no mise - bha caraid agam a gluasad agus chuir mi taic oirre. Bha sinn ro thrang airson nan naidheachdan a leughadh.

I didn't see it either - a friend of mine was moving and I helped her. We were too busy to read the news.

DiMàirt 27 dhen t-Samhain
bidh a' ghealach a' coinneachadh ris a' phlanaid Mars, a-rithist,
oir tha a' ghealach a' tighinn air ais anns an àite ionann an dèidh 30 làithean.
Coimheadaibh an oidhche sin ma tha i brèatha.

Tuesday 27th november
the moon will meet the Mars planet, again
because the moon comes back to the same place after 30 days.
Look this night if the weather is fine.
