Watch the moon visit Mars in the sky Friday night (Nov. 11)

On Friday (Nov. 11), the moon will share the same right ascension in an arrangement called a conjunction. 

As the 17-day-old moon passes two degrees to the north of the Red Planet, the two astronomical bodies will also make a close approach in the sky. These close approaches of celestial bodies that don’t result in an eclipse or an occultation are called an appulse.
