Never closer: Mars will be brighter this week, scientists have an explanation

Mars will be closer to Earth this month in the past 15 years after reaching a different <x0pec in the night sky”.

A phenomenon that we have no opportunity to see often given that it happened for the last time in 2003 and we will see it on October 13th. It will not resurface until 2035, writes Independent.

Like every planet in our solar system, Earth and Mars orbit the sun. But the earth is closer to the sun and therefore faster in its orbit. The earth makes two orbits around the sun, while Mars makes such a trip at that time”, NASA explains.

This phenomenon will be unique because of earth's orbits and Mars that match to be closer to each other. In the astronomical phenomenon, Mars will be found to be born when the sun sets and sets at sunrise.

In mid - October, only a few will be given the opportunity to see Mars in its most spectacular position. The red planet will look brighter and more prominent in the night sky with the naked eye, while it will be easier to look into details with telescopes.
