Mars can be seen close to the Moon on the evening of the 10th! The pair will become visible from around 17:30 in the South, they can be seen until they set at around 22:30 in the West. The closest approach is at 16:20 but it will be too light to see Mars.
The image shows their location at 19:53 on the 10th
