Yes. Mars will be visible low in the Eastern sky starting about 2 hours before dawn.
But Mars will NEVER look "as big as the full moon!" as the Mars Hoax insists. Sorry; it won't happen.
Around midnight
It depends where you are.
Mars is always visible in the night sky and can be seen with the naked eye when it is above the horizon. Its visibility depends on its position in its orbit relative to Earth and can vary throughout the year. Astronomical apps or websites can help you track when Mars will be visible in your location.
no we will not be, because we already were in 2003: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/18jun_approachingmars.htm
August 27 2009 was a Thursday.
Mars is visible to the naked eye nearly every night. It will be in the constellation Virgo. Mars will be quite distant and rather dim in late August, appearing less than half its average size. It will have about 1/10 of the brightness of last January because of its extreme distance this late summer and fall.
Yes. On August 27, 2009, Mars will be a tiny red dot in the sky which will rise about 2 hours before sunrise, and be visible about 40 degrees above the eastern horizon at dawn.If you're reading that "Mars will appear as big as the full moon!"... well, that was a hoax that gets sent out every year about this time, but it is not true. Mars will NEVER appear as big as the full Moon; Mars is 35 million miles away at the closest, and right now is closer to 120 million miles away.
Currently (on August 27, 2009) the planet Mercury is closest to the Earth. If you were thinking Mars, guess again; Mars is actually fairly distant. Not QUITE across the solar system from Earth, but over 1.3 AU away! If you thought Mars would be very close, you may have been reading the Mars Hoax.
On August 27, 2009, you turned 13.

Nothing will happen on August 27, 2014 concerning the moon. There is hoax going around about Mars, it is not true.
