The Wheat State Wine Co. in Winfield is hosting a star party presenting Mars at its closest approch. Mars will be its closest to Earth since 15 years ago. No, Mars will not be larger than the Moon, but it will be larger than you would normaly see it. Earth travels almost twice around our Sun before Mars makes one trip around the Sun. Make no mistake, even though Mars will be closer to the Earth it will still be over 35 million miles away. There will be other planets to see this night, Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus will be low on the western horizon. You can purchase your tickets for this event by following this Winfield Winery link.
