See, I told you so! When to I get to leave for Mars? Also, don't miss the three planet display Sunday morning.

"Sunday, 12/10 Mercury-Jupiter, 11:30 a.m. Mercury, having passed Mars yesterday, grazes Jupiter by a tenth of a degree this morning. Look to the southeast about 45 minutes before sunrise. Mars, much fainter than the other two, is about a degree to the right. This is a very nice sight, but one requiring a low horizon; clear, dark skies; and good eyesight.

Monday, 12/11
Mars-Jupiter, 7:00 p.m.
Although they have been close for several days, today marks the closest approach between Mars and Jupiter, at slightly less than one degree. This is a daylight occurrence, but they appear nearly as close before down on Monday and Tuesday, low to the southeast."
