After dark this week Capella shines in the northeast, and the Pleiades are well up in the east-northeast three fists to Capella's right. As evening grows later, you'll find orange Aldebaran climbing up below the Pleiades. Then by around 10 p.m. (depending on your location), Orion begins clearing the eastern horizon below Aldebaran.

Nov. 5 is reserved for the Moon and Mars. After sunset of this day and the next, the crescent moon will be seen beside the red planet, which can be easily distinguished from the night sky, thanks to its reddish glow.
