Mars is ready for another close-up as the Red Planet will swing unusually close to Earth this weekend.Should make for a nice sighting with my telescope!!
On Saturday, Mars' orbit will bring it 43.1 million miles away from Earth, with its closest pass scheduled for 11:25 p.m. EDT.
The two planets -- normally separated by about 140 million miles -- will not be this close again until 2018.
