It will have a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. In its 75-capacity increase, Mars will be look as big as the full moon through the bare eye.By August 27, when the two planets will be closer to each other, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12: 30 am.
