Astronomy Tonight: Venus & Mars

If you have a clear view of the western horizon, you'll see Venus & Mars practically on top of each other. Look very low to the west 30 minutes after sunset. Venus will be only 1/3° north (upper right) of Mars. One-third degree is less than half the width of your little finger held at arm's length.
