Mars will seem blazing red at 23 UTC (around 4 am on Wednesday),

 Days after Mars made its nearest way to deal with Earth, the red planet will show up the greatest and most brilliant on Tuesday night as it lines up with Earth and Sun on a straight line, going to a "resistance". 

As per Space.com, Mars will be "obvious from nightfall to first light" and will seem multiple times more splendid than Sirius. Mars will seem blazing red at 23 UTC (around 4 am on Wednesday), a report in Earthsky said. 

At the point when Mars is in "Resistance", it implies, the red planet is legitimately on the contrary side of Earth from the Sun. All in all, Mars and the Sun gleam on inverse sides of Earth's sky during this time. 


"During this resistance, Mars and Earth are nearest to one another in their circles. That implies Mars is at its most brilliant," the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) said. 

As per the space office, this setup occurs about like clockwork.

Mars will be visible through October, but will become fainter as Mars and Earth travel farther away from each other in their orbits around the Sun.

According to the Nasa, this is the time when Mars' orbit lies "at about 38.6 million miles (62.07 million kilometers) from our planet".

On October 6, Mars made its closest approach to Earth. It is said that the two planets won't be this close for the next 15 years now.

The last time Mars was close to Earth was in in 2018, but in 2003, the planets made a historic approach.
