Default August 27th

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
cultivate 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.h:

As large as a full moon? Right. If it were that large in our night sky, that'd mean it was so close that its gravity would result in HUGE tidal pulls.
