See Mars with the naked eye this weekend: it is closer to earth than it will be any time during the next 13 years.
29 October 2005

A rare chance tonight and tomorrow night for a good look at Mars. The Red Planet is as close to Earth as it will be any time during the next 13 years.

If you have a clear view of the sky, look to the east for a pinkish, bright object. It should be visible to the naked eye.
