midnight sky, and the whole World will be waiting

for this once in many a lifetime spectacular event.

Starting in August, the planet Mars will be the

brightest object in the night sky. It will look as

large as a full Moon to the naked eye. This will culminate on August 27th, when Mars comes

within 34.65 million miles of Earth.

So, be sure to watch the sky on August 27th from midnight to 12:30AM. It will look like the

Earth has two Moons. 

The next time Mars comes this much close will

be in the year 2287.”
