Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August.
It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will
cultivate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles off earth.. Be
sure
to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am . It will look like the earth has 2
moons. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.

No Mars Opposition will happen this year.The next calculated close approach of Mars to Earth is in the year 2050 when Mars is atleast 55.957 million kms away from Earth. Guess u have been hoaxed by the "Mars Spectacular" myth. For further details, please check out these links:-
