Mars is set to undergo a lunar occultation on Monday night, where the full moon will briefly block it out, enhancing its visibility afterward.
With Mars reaching opposition on January 15, it will appear as a bright red-tinged star due to its proximity to Earth and alignment with the sun.
Throughout January, Mars will participate in a planetary parade with Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus, with four being visible to the naked eye.
The lunar occultation of Mars offers a unique opportunity for astronomers and enthusiasts to observe its brightness and position in the night sky.
