The Moon and Mars side by side on March 17, 2026 from Ho Chi Minh City
Too low in twilight here.
Only 1.4° apart: less than the width of your little finger at arm's length.

"Worth looking up" alerts for Ho Chi Minh City
One notification in the late afternoon, only on nights with something worth going out for over Ho Chi Minh City: 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 Ho Chi Minh City'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.
The Moon and Mars 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.
