20:53 EST: Mars is close enough to the full Moon that, despite being near inferior opposition and about as bright as it ever gets, I can't see Mars with the naked eye. With binoculars, I can see a maybe-reddish pin-prick less than half a Lunar diameter away from the Moon. At 21:21, Mars is scheduled to go behind the Moon, to emerge out the other side an hour later.
