Don't miss Mars this time around!

Earth and Mars are passing closer in their respective orbits than they will for several years: 55 million miles on Tuesday. Mars was quite spectacular this morning in the pre-dawn hours. The color reminded me of that peachy orange hue of mercury vapor street lamps.
You don't have to get up to view Mars in the wee hours of the morning, as I did. In fact, it should be visible soon after nightfall.
