Big and Bright Mars

On the morning of the TOTAL lunar eclipse, the Red Planet, Mars, lies relatively close to Earth and shines at magnitude -1.4.

It will not shine this bright or be this large in appearance again until 2016.

So, if you have a telescope set up for the eclipse, you’ll have plenty of time to steal a glance at Mars, even during totality.
