Looking east around 11 pm you will see an orangish red star called Aldebaran. This star is part of the constellation Taurus the Bull and is about 65 light years away. North of this star will be a brighter orange/red object which is Mars. You can tell the difference between stars and planets with the twinkle test. Stars twinkle, planets usually do not.
