See Saturn and Mars Close Encounter Tonight

So close will Mars seem to have rings?!
Shucks! It's cloudy and rainy here in Columbus, TX and I won't be able to observe this.

MARS AND SATURN: After passing through the Beehive star cluster last night, Mars is on a collision course with Saturn--at least it looks that way. The two planets will not collide, but they will have a pleasing close encounter in the evening sky on Saturday night, June 17th. Look west after sunset.
