Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky startingAugust.

It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will culminate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles of 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.
