And More...
On Monday Night we might be lucky to see the Full "Wolf" Moon pass right in front of Mars while Mars is at its closest to Earth, making it the brightest it'll be for the rest of the year. It'll start some time after the 8pm CT hour and should last about an hour and fifteen minutes. Mars will be visible with the naked eye for a few hours before and after the event. You may need a Telescope or Binoculars to view the actual occultation.
