Hi, mew-

MARS would be that round, red circle in the sky -- and MARS does not twinkle because MARS is a planet, not a star. Stars "twinkle".

Find MARS tonight: go outside just as dusk turns to night sky. Right now we are in the new moon phase (sliver of a moon) so it is the best time to see MARS. Look up to the EAST (where the sun rises everyday) and you will see the red ball in the sky.

Go to website http://www.space.com/spacewatch/where_is_mars.html which has a map of where MARS is located. We can see Mars many, many nights (and Venus, Jupiter, etc) with the naked eye. Just need to know it rises in the East & sets in the West as does the Moon & Sun and everything in the sky.

Hope there are no clouds in the sky tonight where you live...Imagine, no human eyes from the time of Genesis in the Bible to 2003 have seen Mars this close to Earth. We are the lucky ones to see it and the next ones will be about 50,000 years from now.
