Last night at 9:00PM in California Mars was closest to the Earth then it has been since the Stone Age.
"Mars is closer to Earth than it has been since the Stone Age.
Because both planets orbit the sun in different shapes, they are never the same distance from one another." Newsround
I was able to see Mars last night! If you didn't see it you will still be able to see it tonight but it won't be as close tonight. Note: It was in the UK at a different time.
