Pop outside and you can actually see a Moon-Mars conjunction happen on the same day!
Look west southwest any night this week after sunset, and you re going to see Mars red glow near the Pleiades (more on that next month).
The moon will approach all week, but the big news is the SUV-sized robot that should land on Thursday!
Once down safely Perseverance will start looking for signs of ancient life, study Martian geology -- oh and its got a HELICOPTER on board.
That s right: if this baby works, it ll be the first powered flight on Mars -- a place with only 1-percent of the atmosphere of Earth This could be a Valentine s Day date?
Take your partner out, gaze at Mars and talk about our newest Robot explorer?
What can I say I m a romantic!
You ll even be able to watch the landing LIVE!
So exciting!
