Answer 1

The only way you would see Mars up close on Tuesday is if you were on a space ship and traveled to the other side of the sun. Mars is not going to be close on Tuesday at all. You'd be lucky if you see Mars at all... it is close to opposite the Sun. Mars was closest in 2003... the closest it will be in the next 300 years. This chain email was started a few years ago. I got it myself, so I started another chain email saying it wasn't going to happen... apparently you, and a bunch of other people didn't get it.

Answer 2

Yes, be looking, i sure will! : ) 2:30 am my time and its well worth it!

Answer 3

No, you have been fooled by a hoax email. Mars is nowhere near the Moon on August 27, and in fact is very hard to see because it is very far from Earth and close to the Sun in the sky.
