I have seen something big and red up there in the East at about 30-40 degrees that could be Mars. It was in the middle of the night though, when I was going for a pee. I haven't had time to check it. At this time of year, it could be Arcturus, which is also bright red and much higher in the sky than it is in winter. So folks, am I more likely to be looking at Mars or is your money on boring old Arcturus?
