Get Ready for a Celestial Spectacle
Astronomy Magazine Encourages Readers to Observe the Intersection of a Crescent Moon and Mars on August 26th.
For Optimal Viewing, Begin Observing About 30 Minutes Post-Sunset. Start with Binoculars to Spot the Thin Crescent Moon. After Twilight Ends, Look for Both Celestial Bodies Without Assistance.
