The distance at which the Red planet will be from the Earth, will be 76 million kilometers.
Experts say that this week at the end of twilight in the southwest, you will see a barely noticeable yellow light. In comparison with previous figures now Mars looks “frighteningly large”, so it can be seen from Earth without special adaptations not only at the end of may, but June.
One of the chief editors of scientific publications Sky & Telescope’s Alan Mcrobert claims that the closest approach of the red planet with the Earth will happen on may 30, then the distance between celestial bodies will amount to 47.2 million kilometers.
Extremely close to Earth Mars will be located also on 12 June, however, after this convergence, the Red planet will gradually move away.
Latest record close distance between Earth and Mars was recorded by scientists in August 2003, then the Red planet got closer to our 55.7 million kilometers. According to the forecasts of astrophysicists, the same record again two years later.
