Mars and Moon RARE Occultation 1/13/2025

This event, visible from the United States on January 13, marks the only lunar occultation of Mars this year.

The event coincides with Mars' opposition, when the planet will be directly opposite the sun in the sky, making it appear at its brightest and largest.

Mars will be at its closest point to Earth during this time. The lunar occultation of Mars will be visible across the contiguous US, parts of Canada, Mexico, and Western Africa.
