I was looking for the twin Mars bound ships but missed the window and have suburban trees blocking my south southwest view.😢 Maybe 6am is another try for New York? If I'm reading correctly...Jupiter & Mars rising tonight look pretty cool though!🚀🚀

NASA’s twin ESCAPADE spacecraft swing past Earth one by one on Nov. 6-7 and 8-9 on their way to Mars. Have a telescope? You may be able to spot each spacecraft in the hours before each flyby as a faint dot drifting slowly east to west. 🔭 Star charts for locations across the U.S.: go.nasa.gov/4ySFuEV
Simulated night sky from NASA Goddard in Greenbelt, Maryland, looking southeast at 11 p.m. EST on Nov. 6. A teal arc traces the path of the first ESCAPADE spacecraft. It rises from the eastern horizon, peaks high in the south around midnight, and sets in the west by 3:30 a.m., with hourly time labels along the way. A marker shows the spacecraft about halfway up the southeastern sky at 11 p.m. Orion, Aldebaran, Procyon, Sirius and Saturn are labeled for reference.
