The planet will be visible throughout the night from then on. Mars can be seen throughout the month of October. Mars will fade away as it slowly moves away from each other as it orbits the Sun. NASA says Mars will be seen very well in October. In every two years the Earth takes place between the sun and the Mars. As a result, Earth and Mars came very close to each other. That is why the red planet is seen brightest in the sky. The mars will be very close to earth till 2035. Even before that, in 2018, Mars came very close to the earth.

On August 17, 2003, the distance between Earth and Mars stood at 5 crore 57 lakh 58 thousand 6 kilometers. This is the closest distance between these two planets in the last 60 thousand years. Even if it is not so close this time, Mars may be a big attraction in the night sky.
