Another sky event
July 27: Mars at its Biggest & Brightest (with the Moon)
While the rest of the world looks at the lunar eclipse, those of us missing the show still have something to look at in the night sky. During the July 27th full moon (which makes the eclipse possible), Mars is close to perigee (which occurs on the 31st). This is the closest and brightest Mars will appear in the night sky for this 26-month period.
Mars will make its closest approach to Earth since 2003.
Planet-wide dust storm is currently enveloping Mars
Look for Mars beneath the full moon in the southeastern sky between 9:35 pm on July 27th Pacific time and 5:00 am on July 28th.
