Two evening planets appear low in the southwestern sky after sunset. The bright yellow planet Saturn and the red planet Mars appear as a close pair. The two are less than one degree apart. Mars and Saturn may be close this weekend, but they part company in the nights and weeks ahead.
After tonight’s fireworks, there is still plenty to see in the night. The planets Saturn and Mars are a close couple in the western sky. Mars is a dull red and it appears right below the yellow ringed-planet Saturn. Both are in the zodiacal constellation Leo and they are the two brightest objects in the western sky. The constellation’s brightest star Regulus appears under the two planets.
