About this work
Mars shines brightly in the sky over Port Canaveral in Florida on Monday, July 30, 2018. The Red Planet appeared the brightest from July 27 to July 30, making its closest approach to Earth on July 31. The next Mars close approach is Oct. 6, 2020. A close approach is when Mars and Earth come nearest to each other in their orbits around the Sun.
