An opportunity to see the moon occult a bright planet at night does not happen too often; for Mars, a specific location on Earth can see it happen (on average) once about every 14 years. So, if you are fortunate to live in the occultation zone and the weather cooperates, this upcoming event is one that really should not be missed.

From Oklahoma City Mars disappears around 7:54pm and reappears 8:59pm. The time will be different depending on your location.
