See it! Mars is very bright now


Dennis Chabot wrote on July 8, 2018: “Mars this morning. It’s very bright now and big in the sky.” Notice that it’s also red in color. The brightness and red color will let you identify Mars fairly easily. Watch for it in the east – in the direction opposite the sunset – in mid-evening or later. Mars will be in the west at dawn.

Deidre Horan in Dublin, Ireland caught Mars setting in the west on the morning of July 7, 2018.

Nikolaos Pantazis in Peloponnisos, Greece caught bright Mars rising in the east in mid-evening – along with the Milky Way – on July 6, 2018. In this photo, Mars is the bright object on the left, above the ridge of the mountain.

Peter Lowenstein in Mutare, Zimbabwe caught the moon and Mars, setting, on the morning of July 1, 2018. The bright dot near the horizon is Jupiter. For about 2 months – around July 7 to September 7 – Mars will supersede Jupiter in brightness. Read more.
