Mars and the Moon are getting ready to present a show that is out of this world.
The Red Planet takes the closest approach to Earth, and as the lunar orbit rises, the two appear to be hanging from each other in the night sky.
ET starts at 11:35 pm on Friday, October 2, and the closest approach can be seen shortly after midnight.
Both are visible from the east, but as the night progresses they move west and by 2am the ET pair will reach the highest points in the southern sky.
