Very clear. Best thing in the sky is the Orion Nebula - can easily see it.

just been outside for a look, the moon is like a torchlight, it looks real bright outside. i would never have guessed that the bright star looking thing was mars but it does look a little red, amazing!!

cheers for the heads-up.

Optical illusion - easier to compare to things on the horizon which tricks the brain.

is mars visible tonight

supersonic

Yes, will be for several weeks I believe. At the moment it is directly above the moon.

I could see it when I was out a couple of hours ago, it's just in a different position, and may've sunk below the horizon by now. Was north west if I remember right.

Obviously I don't remember right. Yes, it's above the moon.

Yup. Still there. Doesn't seem as bright as it was last night though.

Goes to have a look...

...Comes back

In the dark i almost stepped on a decapited mouse on the patio, and i couldn't see from there so i went up onto the trampoline and saw it.
WOW
The moon was so bright and big, and mars was pretty awesome too - the thing that looked like a star with a red/orange tinge?
Seeing that makes me wonder how people think it was just a big explosion

just been out to have a look to..

Very clear and really bright 8)

Cloudless here and can see the moon perfectly - although nothing I would call Mars

Is it the star-like object directly above the moon? If it is looks more like a star to me - thought it would be bigger?

This celestial object is small. This one is far away
