"Next month, Earth and Mars will converge for their closest approach of 2014. Opposition occurs on April 8th. That's when Mars rises in the east at sunset, almost perfectly opposite the sun, and soars overhead at midnight shining 8 times brighter than a 1st-magnitude star. Although closest approach is still weeks away away, astronomers are already enjoying great views of the Red Planet."

Great pic of Mars on-site. I don't usually get too enthusiastic about planet pics, but that it's from just the other day, and how clear it is hit my astro g-spot or something
