Mars will be on centre stage through the last of the summer and into the fall.  


 


I live in the middle of Canada.  I'd call it central Canada, but
Toronto and the world that revolves around it to mean that although
it's a hell of a drive to get there.  Mars is rising about 23:00 in
this part of the world just now.  If you can connect with a telescope
group or public program through a local planetarium it's going to be
the best look you'll get.  This site will help you determine where to look if you want to identify any of the objects in the sky.
