mars..they say we will never see it again..

It is said that in month of August there will something amazing or awesome.In august,planet marikh aka red planet will in a CLOSEST approach near the earth in recorded history.This phenomenon was said to happen again only on 2287.Thus,we won't even be alive at that time!.
Besides,the reason this is happening is because of the Jupiter planet's gravity.The planet's gravity tugs on the red planet and pertubs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that mars has not come this close to Earth in last 5000 years and also it may be as long as 60000 years before it happens again.
The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles on the Earth and will be next to the moon while been the brightest object in the sky.It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide.At modest 75 power magnification.
Mars can be easily spotted at the beginning of August as it will rise in the east at 10pm and reach its azimuth at about 3am.By the end of August when the two planets are closest,Mars will rise at nightfall and reach it highest point in the sky at 12.30am
Now,that's a chance to see something spectacular.So,whether it is truth or not you should get prepared and wait for the scenery to happen.Remember!No one will be alive to watch it again...
