Mars the god of Chocolate.

Just in case you haven't heard the news, Mars was recently as close to us (and hence as bright) as it will get for another 13 years.

For the next few nights, look east soon after sunset, the brightest spot in the sky will be Mars - unless you're looking at a street light - or the moon!

I subscribe to Space Weather, and the nice people send me regular emails to let me know about cool things like this, OK so the timings are American and some events like eclipses are localised, but mostly space there is space here is space everywhere!
