Mars and Saturn side by side on April 19, 2026 from Fort Worth
Too low in twilight here.
Only 1.2° apart: less than the width of your little finger at arm's length.

"Worth looking up" alerts for Fort Worth
One notification in the late afternoon, only on nights with something worth going out for over Fort Worth: a very bright ISS pass, a Starlink train, a meteor shower peak, planets together, a supermoon or eclipse, or a bright comet. Only the city is stored, not your location.
Put Fort Worth's sky in your calendar
Full moons, meteor showers, eclipses and bright ISS passes (with a 10-minute reminder) appear in your calendar and update by themselves.
Mars and Saturn meet in the morning sky before dawn: two bright lights almost touching.
How to watch
- No equipment needed: look for two bright points unusually close together.
- Binoculars fit both in one view; a phone on night mode catches them over the horizon.
- They stay close for a few days around the date: a cloudy night is not the end.
