Mars, moon, meteor shower make for big show Friday

msnbc.com: Technology & Science

This sky map shows the position of Mars and the moon in the predawn sky on Friday, Oct. 21, 2011 at about 5 a.m. for skywatchers with clear skies in mid-northern latitudes.If you’re out and about a few hours before sunrise on Friday, waiting to catch sight of the Orionid meteor darting across the sky, you might also want to cast a gaze toward the southeast part of the sky to admire the waning crescent moon and another bright treat: the planet Mars.
