be sure to pop outside for the next couple nights to watch the sunset and the show soon after. you'll see a crescent moon above the setting sun, which will sit in the sky very close to a special planetary and stellar alignment. forming a nearly equilateral triangle is a bright mars, saturn, and spica.
notice at how amazingly red mars looks compared to the other two!
this is a perfect setup to view with binoculars, as they typically have a 7 degree field of view and the triangle fits within 6 degrees.
enjoy, and dont forget to wave to curiosity ;)
