Watch Mars at opposition meet the full moon next week (Dec. 7)

Every once in a while, something will appear in the sky that will attract the attention of even those who normally don’t bother looking up. 

It’s likely to be that way in the evening hours of Wednesday (Dec. 7) when the full moon will appear in very close proximity to the now-brilliant planet Mars. In fact, the moon will turn full at 11:08 p.m. EST (0408 GMT on Dec. 8) followed by Mars arriving at opposition to the sun just 87 minutes later. This will result in an almost perfect alignment in space of the sun, Earth, moon and Mars.
