You may all be aware of this but Mars is about to come closer to our planet as it ever has over the last 50,000 years!
It will get as close as 34,649,589 miles away and will appear as big as the moon.
Throughout August you should see the red planet get bigger and bigger in the sky culminating to the closest azimuth at 3 a.m (western time) on the 27th August.
You should tell everyone you know as they will never have an opportunity to see this again in their lifetimes. It is caluclated that the next time this will happen will be in 60,000 years time!
Happy planet watching...
