Look for Mars and the Moon this week

This week the planet Mars will shine bright in the evening sky. With a pleasant forecast ahead, any evening with mainly clear skies will give you a view of the planet.

Look west after sunset around 8:45-9:00 p.m. to see Mars with a slightly reddish hue.

In the evenings of April 15 and 16, the planet will be right above the thin crescent moon, making it even easier to find!

Don’t forget to share your photos of Mars with us!
