There are no visible sightings of Spacestation over UK but this may interest

some of you for a few evenings.
MARS AT OPPOSITION: Mars is approaching opposition. On March 3-5, the Red Planet will be up all night long, opposite the sun and as close to Earth as it will get in 2012. Mars shines overhead at midnight 6 times brighter than a 1st magnitude star and looks great through a backyard telescope.

I shall remind you when ISS is visible again in the evenings but may be a few weeks.

Thanks for that wendilla, I'm interested to know what I'm looking at, last night was a beatiful clear night with lots of stars and planets on view, but apart from Orion I hadn't a clue what I was looking at.

Is Mars the one that looks a bit orange compared to the others that look silver?

Thanks wendi. Hope we get some cloud free nights.

TRT no mars is not visible early evening. What you see is probably Mercury. I will stand to be corrected as I am not into knowing all the planets. Wait till 3rd March and look late evening for Mars.

how will I know what mars looks like wendilla?
