Stargazing

We’ve been up at odd hours the last few days (months) due to Baby, and since we’ve had clear weather lately I’ve been taking a moment to step outside around 4 or 5 to look at the dawn. And I saw a red planet near the horizon, and assumed it was lovely little Mercury. But then I wanted to be sure, so used this nifty site to figure out that it’s not Mercury — it’s Mars! Hello, Martians!
