As Earth is closer to the Sun is goes round its orbit faster than Mars. It means around every two years they are in opposition

From our perspective, Mars rises in the east just as the sun sets in the west.

At around 9pm, Mars will be above and to the left of the Moon, about the length of an outstretched fist away.

A standard SLR camera fitted with a telephoto lens is all you need to capture the scene, says Robin Scagell, from the Society for Popular Astronomy.

'Mars is looking really quite red and impressive at the moment, and the Moon will be full,' he said.

'It's going to be a great sight and rather fun to look for.'

The forecast for the UK tonight is mainly clear, although there could be cloud over North-East England and Northern Ireland.
