I'm in Idaho and it is really clear out tonight, but I don't know where Mars or betelgeuse are in the sky. Stars tonight I should look it up online! I should clarify something....I have been shown Mars lots of times, but can't ever figure out where it is in the sky because everything looks alike to me!!! Stars tonight

I love stars. Sometimes they are harder to see in the city, so I love going camping or to the country because they are everywhere!!!

Betelgeuse is in Orion, if you know how to find his "belt" onlyme?

It's overheadish around 8:00 nowadays (near the Moon, as timeforsleep says).
