Mars on August 27, 2015
This August, all of us are in for the most fascinating celestial event. Mars’ orbit will come so close to Earth’s orbit that visually, the red planet may appear as large as the Moon. This wonder will be visible on the 27th. Under clear weather conditions, even without binoculars, a bright point will be clearly visible in the sky, and with the aid of a telescope, the view will be absolutely fantastic.
Mars will be only 56 million km away from Earth’s orbit and will influence our entire planet. No wonder Mars bears the name of the god of war. It will bring powerful streams of energy to Earth: human emotions on this day will be at their peak of intensity. This state of affairs can be utilized, but only if this energy is directed toward positive actions. Spells and love charms performed on this day will be especially strong and effective.
A similar phenomenon was first observed in 2003. Astronomers were deeply impressed by the astonishing fact: the red planet was clearly visible in the sky. Before that, such an occurrence took place long before our era, when our planet had only just begun to form. We will be able to witness this unique event again this August.
Experts in the field of space will attempt to use Mars’ close approach to study the red planet more thoroughly. It is the only planet in the universe where life, as on Earth, might potentially be discovered. Scientists do not rule out that sending a special spacecraft to Mars during this period could reveal traces of an extraterrestrial civilization. It remains unknown whether launch attempts will actually be made.
Everyone will be able to enjoy the amazing sight of this distant planet. The best viewing time will be from 00:00 to 01:00 (Moscow time). During this period, Mars will appear especially bright.
This year, August is rich in astonishing astronomical events. Following the breathtaking Perseids meteor shower, Earth’s inhabitants will be able to enjoy another celestial beauty. Do not miss this extraordinary event—watch the sky on August 27, 2015. Wishing you good luck,
