Mars and Saturn Conjunction

Tonight and for the next few nights, Mars and Saturn will appear very close to each other, i.e., they are in conjunction. Face west just as it's starting to get dark. The two planets will be the first two "stars" that appear. Saturn is the brighter of the two. If you notice a third bright star to the lower right, it's Regulus.
