Press release from St. Louis Science Center: December 26, 2021 If you look southeast tomorrow morning at 6:30 am, you will find two bright orangish-red objects. One will twinkle and the other will not. The twinkling object is the star Antares. The other object is the planet Mars. The name Antares means rival of Mars, a name given because Mars will pass by Antares every few years. This press release was produced by St. Louis Science Center.
