This is the first time in my life that I have ever watched Mars move.
In about two years, I think Jupiter will move to be left of Saturn and Mars will come back, so they will be fairly close again. After that, by my calculation, it will be 18 years until they are close, so I am really enjoying looking at them now.

I face east southeast overlooking the wide open Chesapeake Bay. Beautiful night sky views.
