Moon, Mars, and the Pleiades
Tonight the Moon will form a close triangle with Mars and the always distinctive Pleiades cluster. Use this chart to find it this evening.
There’s a camera on Mars right now (several in fact), but you can view an image taken today from the Perseverance Rover here, then head outside and look back at Mars from Earth in your own backyard.
