Tonight Mars closest to Earth on July 30-31...
On July 30-31, 2018, Mars and Earth are closer than since their historically close approach in 2003. Mars was closer in 2003 than in some 60,000 years, and it’s now only slightly farther from Earth now than then. It’s about 35.78 million miles (57.59 million km) away at its closest on July 31 at 08:00 UTC. That time places Mars’ closest approach before sunrise on July 31 for North American time zones – and on July 30 at 10 p.m. Hawaiian Time.

Have you seen Mars yet? You can see it easily with the eye alone as the very bright red “star” in the east every evening, and in the west before dawn.

This July 30-31, 2018 close encounter between the Earth and Mars is the closest until around the time of the Martian opposition on September 15, 2035.

Nice post, christian, but no hook to attract attention.
You should have made your title something like:
Tonight Mars closest to Earth on July 30-31... Prepare for Earthquakes!!!
Then, you could make exactly the same informative first post as above but with an added statement that while Mars has nothing to do with EQs on earth, if the reader lives in an EQ zone it is wise to prepare for EQs.

Remember the golden era?
When Mar's was closest to Earth in the 70s and they launched Voyager's 1 & 2?
What has happened to NASA (Apart from Obama) that they have missed another opportunity to study the Red Planet?
Now the EU, China, Russia, India (Of all places), and soon Iran will far supersede all Western countries in Space.
What a sorry husk we have become!

kitty Thanks for the heads up, I thought that the closest approach was last Friday along with the Lunar eclipse. So tonight could be pretty dangerous.
