Tonight: Mars and Saturn are 53° apart in the evening sky. Look for Mars above the constellation of Orion the Hunter and below the twin stars of Gemini. Saturn is 3° from the star Regulus in Leo. Find Leo by extending a line below the bowl of the Big Dipper. Mars and Saturn are slowly moving towards each other. In July, Mars will have moved into Leo the Lion and will pass close to Saturn.

I am studying for my PhD in Astronomy at Cardiff University in the UK. Star formation is my main area of research but really I like anything to do with space, science and the internet.
