This evening starting at approximately 8 pm, it will be possible to find a trio of bright red objects in the eastern sky. The red stars Aldebaran and Betelgeuse along with the planet Mars create a large triangle. Mars will appear as the brightest of the three objects and will be the only one that doesn’t appear to twinkle. Aldebaran, the eye of Taurus the Bull, will appear higher in the sky than Betelgeuse, the shoulder of Orion.  By 1 am, this triangle will appear high overhead to the south.

The sky as it will appear tonight at 8 pm. Mars, Aldebaran, and Betelgeuse are all red-orange objects visible in the eastern sky. Star map created using Stellarium
