On August 27 we are supposed to see Mars adjacent to the Moon about 1 - 2 AM so it looks like this picture.
Doesn't make sense. Mars is 37 million miles away while the moon is 1/4 million miles away. That makes the subtended arcs in a 75:1 ratio Moon:Mars (because Mars is twice the diameter of the moon.)
Any comments from anyone?
