Watch the moon sweep past bright Mars
Earth will go between Mars and the sun later this week. It's Mars' best and brightest opposition since 2003. Note that the moon will be near Mars during Friday's total lunar eclipse. Start watching Mars and the moon tonight!

Coming up … Century's longest lunar eclipse

The eclipse is visible on Friday from Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and some of South America. No eclipse visible in North America. Click in for links to online coverage.
