Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August. It will look as large as
the full moon to the naked eye. This will cultivate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within
34.65M miles off earth. Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am. It will look like
the earth has 2 moons.
The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Share this with your friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it again.

Maybe that should just read Mars will be as bright ? Still worth a reminder to look up and enjoy the night sky. We spend so much time in life looking down.
I feel for it I thought it would be cool to see.
I went out last night and looked, the only moons I saw were my neighbor skinny dipping.
I thought that was supposed to happen tonight. Not last night?Quote:
