THE MOON AND MARS: Last August when Mars came historically close to Earth, the red planet was dazzling. Now it's merely one among many middling-bright stars in the evening sky. On Feb. 25th, once again, you can find it with ease. Just look for the crescent moon after sunset. Mars will be right beside it.  Visit spaceweather.com for a sky map.
