Minutes before 6 a.m. Eastern time on Aug. 27, 5:51 to be exact, the separation between Mars and Earth will be precisely 34,646,418 miles. That is proximity only by cosmic standards. Mars was about five times that distance from Earth only six months ago. Go, Mars! We (astroloGERS) have no idea what this will "mean" but it's interesting that when Mars is so close it is in its detriment and retrograde.
