month? It's the only time it's supposed to do it in our lifetime. Looks neat, like a really big, bright star with a slight bit of color. Down and to the left of the moon here in FL.

Yes, I see it. In WA its in the 10-to-10 position. Unfortunately I don't have binoculars or a telescope that would do it justice, but it would be interesting to see at the planetarium.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Funny you should type this. I just got an email from a friend whe mentioned this. I need to look tonight. Last night we had tons of fog, so visibility was poor. Guess I should grab the binoculars, just in case.

It was extremely clear here last night, so the Moon and Mars were both very bright. My neighbor has a very high power telescope and is really into that stuff, so I may see if I can look through it.

I saw it night before last, early, and then real early this morning. It was much nicer this morning than the previous night, closer to the moon, bigger and brighter. I was outside just as it was starting to get light, and it was so beautiful!!!

Thanks for this wonderful reminder, Rhonda!
