A rare event is due to take place in Irish skies tonight as an extremely bright red 'star' will appear next to the Full Moon on November 11.
The stunning sight will be visible for one night only, but everyone in Ireland will be able to see it from dusk until dawn tonight.
"Mars comes close to Earth roughly every 2.1 years which it is doing at the end of 2022. This means it will be exceptionally bright to the naked eye,” according to David Moore, Editor of Astronomy Ireland magazine.
