For those of you who may not be aware, tonight, August 27th is when planet Mars will be the closest it has been to earth in over 2000 years, and won't happen again for another 2000 years. It will be easily visible to the naked eye, so finding it shouldn't be a problem, as it will be quite large.
So, if you want to witness an event that only occurs every two millenia, go up and look at the night sky tonight. It will still be pretty close tomorrow night, but it will be a little farther away.
