Tonight’s bright full moon appears so close to the red planet Mars.

The moon can be your best friend when it comes to finding the planets in the night sky.

On Saturday night, a thin crescent moon appears close to the horizon after sunset.

The last quarter moon rises late Friday, well after midnight.

The brilliant red sapphire planet Mars steals the show for the month of July and for the rest of the summer.

Full moon, the summer moon, is Thursday night. It is one of the smallest full moons of the year.
