August 27 marks the closest that Mars and Earth have been since nearly 60,000 years ago...
All about MARS (http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/allabout/nightsky/)
For me at 12:00 the planet was in the high South Eastern sky.
Vary bright, you can't miss it.
Here are some pictures I took just tonight.
They are not vary good because I just pointed and snapped.
I could not see through the viewer for the little light that is right next to it. Plus I was not vary steady.
Actualy was suprised to see anything.

Pretty cool if you like stargazing. Even if you don't it is still worth a look next time you are outside late at night.
