Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun approached 57.6 kilometres from the Earth, the closest it has been since 2003
Star gazers could have a good view of the Red Planet next month as Mars is set to come to the closest point to Earth since 2003 when it reaches opposition with the Sun in late July.
The host star itself is about 600 light years away from the Earth. The discovery was made by measuring the mass of the planet using the indigenously designed “PRL Advance Radial-velocity Abu-sky Search”
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said that the storm could cause an aurora or polar lights when it arrives. NOAA has classified the storm as G-1 or 'minor'.
NASA estimated that the asteroid measures 48 to 110 meters wide — 3.6 times the size of the one that levelled 2,000 square kilometers of Siberian forest when it exploded over Tunguska in 1908.

The general prevailing theory is that our solar system was formed billions of years ago near a supernova. However, the latest study, published in the Astrophysical Journal, begins with a giant type of star called a Wolf-Rayet star.
The new research, published in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science, suggests that Earth's atmosphere is a better shield from meteoroids than previously thought.
According to a new research, present-day Mars is a cold and dry planet with less than one per cent of Earths atmospheric pressure at the surface.
Scientists are of the opinion that this may have important implications for the possibility of life in the ocean beneath the moon's surface.
