there it was!
Came out of my meeting tonight and turned homeward and there it was. At first, it was the only thing visible in an sky slightly skimmed with clouds. So you knew it was bright, since no other stars were visible. As I got closer to home the sky cleared and the stars shone, but pale in comparison to our neighbor — Mars! What a view. Even to the naked eye, its red color was plain.
Go outside now!
