Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting
August.
[b]It will look as large as the full moon to the naked
eye.
This will cultimate 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. Don't Miss it.....
The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.
Share this with ur friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it
again.
Hopefully there will be some good shots and clear sky too
[/b]
the planet will NOT look at large as the moon. if it does, its
atmospheric distortion which causes the illusion. instead, mars
will be the brightest 'star' in the sky on that day.
