27th Aug the Whole World is waiting for.............
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.

I'm hoping for clear skies. Right now I can't see a thing. Now when will Mars rise and set, and what part of the sky will it be in?

@ Brother Steve
I received the above information in an email and posted it here w/out checking into whether its actually factual. According to the google I did, it appears to be false.

Jen, oh well. I still like looking at Mars, but Venus is my favorite!

Mars is beautiful. I can't wait until we are finally able to relocate humans to the beautiful capital city.

@ Brother Clark

It's going to happen one day in the near future we will be living on Mars. There will be real Marcians born to Mars with ancestors from Earth (Earthlings).

@ Doc Yep UFO is what we'll most likely be seeing or an astroid...you better take cover!
