The Moon & Mars

Mars can be seen close to the Moon on the evening of the 9th! The pair will become visible from around 20:20 in the West, they can be seen until they set at around 23:40 in the West. The closest approach is at 07:41 but they won’t be visible.

The image shows their location at 21:44 on the 9th
