∙ 15y agoAccording to wheeloftheyear.com, visible planets in August 2008 include:
Morning Twilight...Uranus, Neptune (8/1-15).
Evening Twilight...Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn (8/1-17), Neptune (8/15-31), Mercury 8/8-31).
All Night...Neptune (8/15).
Conjunction...Venus & Saturn (8/13).
Conjunction...Saturn & Mercury (8/16).
Conjunction...Venus & Mercury (8/23).
I am definitely going to be searching the night skies and trying to find every one!

∙ 8y agoYou won't see it every September, but in the years it is visible you will see it at nightfall or in early morning and sometimes throughout the night. Lots of websites will tell you where and when to see it. If you don't see it in September in a particular year, there will be other times of the year that you will see it.

∙ 13y agoPlanet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August. It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will cultivate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles off earth. Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am. It will look like the earth has 2 moons
The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287
Share this with your friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it again

∙ 13y agoVenus, Mars and Saturn are all visible low in the west just after sunset. In the case of Venus, even BEFORE sunset.
Jupiter rises about 10PM, and is visible for the rest of the night. If you have a pretty good telescope, the planet Neptune is just "above and right" of Jupiter.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo. On August 27, 2010, the Moon will be 4 days past the full, rising at about 11 PM. Mars is low in the western sky at sunset, near Saturn and Venus, so they are about as far apart in the sky as they could be.
You're probably reading about the Mars Hoax; see the link below.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo. Mars will never appear as anything more than a red dot in the sky. There has been an e-mail flurry of phony "Mars will look as big as the full moon!" messages lately, but these are hoaxes.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes Jupiter is often visible to the naked eye.
