*Look up for Mars*
The red planet is currently a shining red gem in the sky – if you have a clear sky. Its close approach is tonight, October 6th and on the 13th, it will be the Mars opposition when it's lined up with the Earth and the Sun.

If you want to find out when Mars will rise at your location, have a look at https://www.heavens-above.com/ Enter your location and click on the sky chart. You can then change the time. I saw it the other night in the southeastern sky at 11:30, but it would have been visible before then in places where the eastern horizon isn't hidden by hills. You'll have no trouble recognizing it!
