I missed a meteor shower earlier this month due to overcast skies, but it looks like there will be clear skies to view the moon occult Mars early this evening, Most of the US will be able to observe the moon passing in front of Mars tonight. How long the occultation will last will depend on where you are and the effects of lunar parallax.
You can read about it here for more information and approximate times.
I do love watching the night sky as it changes throughout the year. It is more enjoyable when it isn't so dang cold out.
