See the moon visit fiery-colored Mars Friday evening (Oct. 14)

During the late evening hours of Friday (Oct. 14), those who are outside will no doubt take note of a waning gibbous moon, 74 percent illuminated and just 2 and a half days from its half or last quarter phase. 

But there will also be another object, appearing to hover to the lower right of the moon; glowing like an orange luminary in the dark of the night.  That object is not a star, but one of our planetary neighbors: Mars. Its proximity to the moon will no doubt have not a few folks asking the question, “Just what is that fiery-colored thing that’s glowing below the moon?”
