This article, by Joe Rao, a Space.com Skywatching Columnist, says that on Wednesday night (or very early Thursday morning) Mars will be in the best viewing position it will provide us until the year 2014. Rao states that Mars is currently midway between the constellations of Taurus, the Bull and Gemini, and the Twins. It will rise shortly after 11:00 PM standard daylight time. If you haven't checked the Red Planet out, now would be the time. It will continue to get brighter throughout the coming weeks and months until, on December 9th, it will surpass Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, in brightness. Rao says that by this time Mars will even almost match Jupiter in brilliance.
