Moon and Mars will be seen together this evening
TODAY the crescent moon will pass under Mars and will be best seen in the early evening.
Mars has been almost continually visible in the sky since 2017, as it has approached and then passed the closest point in its orbit to earth.
But it is going to disappear in July because it will be the other side of the sun from us.
It will reappear, as a morning star, not an evening one, in October.
