Pinkey said: "Mars will be just three days passed opposition.'Opposition' is the planetary configuration in which the planet appears in the opposite direction as the Sun from the Earth's perspective.

"It is also the time of closest approach to the Earth, making Mars look bigger and brighter than usual. This will be the closest we've come to Mars since the 2003 opposition (but that was the closest in about 60,000 years).

Wake up to the past on Saturday in Ada

Cruz-N-Ada set for Main Street - let's hold off on the rain
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, July 19, 2018

If the “liquid precipitation” holds off, as many as 250 cars and trucks could show up. He has arranged parking space for the show cars and the spectators all along Main Street.
