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 happen 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.
DOES ANY ONE HAS MORE INFORMATION ON THIS ??????
The Red Planet is about to be spectacular!
This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter’s gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again.
The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest 75-power magnification
Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.Mars will be easy to spot. At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10 p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m.
By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30 a.m. That’s pretty convenient to see something that no human being has seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month.
Share this with your children and grandchildren.NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN
the “Mars will be close to Earth” hoax has become an annual event. Every July and August, messages claiming that Mars will be close to Earth late in August vigorously circulate. Mars was close to Earth back in August 2003, but this has certainly not been true in the years hence and 2007 is no exception.
Moreover, some versions of the message have become even more wildly exaggerated. One popular version currently circulating claims that we will witness “2 moons on 27th August 2007”. According to the message, Mars will look as large as the moon to the naked eye. This is pure nonsense. The claim was untrue even when Mars was actually close to the Earth back in 2003. I remember viewing Mars from my backyard with my children in that year. Certainly it was spectacular, but nowhere near the size of the moon to the naked eye.
IS IT HAPPENING THIS YEAR ?????????
August 27 is quite a happening day for me in that case. Its Faateh’s birthday also on that day 😀
