Scientists say that there is a very high chance tomorrow evening that you can see Mars and the Moon in the sky, the brightest that they have ever been. The last time the red planet was seen in the sky was around October last year, when Earth was passing between Mars and the sun.
Around mid-October 2020, Mars was brighter than all the stars in the sky, even brighter than Jupiter, normally the 2nd brightest planet.
2018 was a very great year to view Mars, so was 2020, especially around September to November. Mars appeared in the sky late 2020 as a blazing red dot. On the other hand, in 2019, Mars unfortunately was barely noticeable in our sky. In February 2021, Mars is becoming more brighter rather than dim. It’s dramatic swings in brightness are part of the reason early stargazers named Mars their God of war; sometimes, the war God rests, and sometimes he grows fierce!
Why? Why is Mars bright in some years, but faint in others? And what can you expect from the red planet in 2021? Keep reading to learn why the appearance of Mars varies so widely in our sky, making it one of the most interesting planets to watch.
By the way, on February 2, 3 and 4, Mars is near the moon. The moon can help you find Mars, which is high overhead when evening darkness falls. Notice Mars’ reddish color and steady light. Once you identify Mars, you can watch it for months, as it fades in brightness.
The moon can guide your eye to Mars on February 2, 3 and 4, 2021. For about a week around this time, Mars and Uranus are in the same field of view with binoculars. Uranus is faint, though, barely within the limit for viewing with the eye alone, and moonlight will interfere with the view.
Finally, in this coming summer, a much-faded Mars will be hovering near the sunset glare. It’ll appear to linger for many months in that position – close to the sun along our line of sight – and finally disappear into the sunset in August. Then Mars will be gone from our sky for some months. It’ll return by 2021’s end, though, to appear in the east before sunrise.

Despite the ruination her anger has caused, Anna says she has no regrets. "I actually wish I knew I had this ability sooner!" Anna laughs.

whale spotted in illinois river
A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri.
While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
