The last occurrence was in 2003. ‘This is the best we’re going to see Mars, so we should strike the iron while it is hot,’ said Kelly Beatty, executive editor of Sky & Telescope magazine. The Red Planet will be 43.1 million miles from Earth at 11:25pm [Eastern time].” Update by J : Starting a few hours after sunset, look fairly high in the eastern sky.
Damn. The threads are coming and St. George done slew all the dragons. Quick, Robin! To the genetics lab!
