If you are interested, and the weather permits, tonight is a very good night to take a look at Mars.

On the East Coast of the U.S., at 11:30 Mars will be an orangeish star about two thirds of the way to the zenith when you are facing East. If you can get your hands on a junk telescope, it will make it seem to be the same size as the moon. You should be able to see the large dark markings fairly easy, but the details will be blurry (at best).

Good luck!
