Until the end of May, Mars is morning star, seeable on the southeastern horizon before sunrise. It begins to rise, East, about midnight local time since about mid-July only as it begins to be observable a large part of night later still, by mid-September. The Red Planet is then rising as soon as 9:30 p.m. local time. From then it's heading to its opposition that is this moment when it rises East when the Sun sets West hence it rises earlier and earlier each night. At the moment of the perihelic opposition, Mars will be high, transiting from the southeast to the southwest

drapeau français, texte en français latitudes moyennes nord/83°W-24°E-116°E. Jusqu'à fin mai, Mars est étoile du matin, visible au sud-est avant le lever du Soleil. Elle ne commence à se lever à l'Est vers minuit heure locale que depuis la mi-juillet puis elle est ensuite observable, vers la mi-septembre, une grande partie de la nuit. Mars se lève alors dès 9h 30 heure locale. A partir de là elle se dirige vers son opposition, c'est-à-dire le moment où elle se lève à l'Est quand le Soleil se couche à l'Ouest. Elle se lè donc chaque nuit de plus en plus tôt. Au moment de l'opposition périhélique, Mars sera haut, transitant avec la sphère céleste du sud-est au sud-ouest (tableau: R.A. = ascension droite, DEC = déclinaison)

Mars is beginning the year as morning star. It quickly rises into the sky and is visible well into the night by the beginning of March. It rises about midnight local time not until the end of July however. The planet is seen as soon as 10:30 p.m. by the beginning of October. For the perihelic opposition, Mars will be relatively lower than at the other latitudes, but not below 40° however, on the northern horizon
