“Another way to make sure you see the planet is to follow the arc in the big dipper’s handle, which points the way to the star Spica, and Mars, just below it.
There’s really no excuse not to see Mars in opposition for yourself — all you have to do is look up. However, if you prefer to do your sky watching online, the astronomy website Slooh.com will be streaming a view of the red plant from a telescope in the Canary Islands. The live broadcast starts at 7 p.m., and will include a discussion about the ongoing mission of the Mars Curiosity Rover.”- from link below http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-mars-opposition-20140408,0,7619579.story
