Witness the Rare Moon-Mars Conjunction Tonight

Tonight, Mars and the moon will appear close together in the night sky, forming a conjunction in the Cancer constellation. The moon, in its waning gibbous phase, will rise about four hours after sunset, with Mars visible just above it. This celestial event offers a great opportunity for skywatchers to observe the Red Planet's increasing brightness and the detailed lunar surface through binoculars or a telescope. Mars will soon enter retrograde motion in December, appearing to move westward due to Earth's orbit.
