Mars Attacks!

That’s right, the Communist Red Planet is closer to Earth now than it has been in the past 60,000 years. Look for the bright red thing in the east after sunset. ( I really should buy a telescope one of these days. )
The Astronomy Picture of the Day has plenty of information and linkification. If you want to know exactly when sunset is tonight, you could consult the US Naval Observatory’s website.
