Before dawn tomorrow, the moon will “eclipse” Mars.

The eclipse-like event, called an occultation, will cause Mars to vanish from the sky over North America early Tuesday morning.

According to the space exploration outlet, the event can be seen with the naked eye or binoculars, though a telescope would provide the best view.
