OK, Say youre sold and want to find Saturn for yourself. If it were one of the skys most dazzling stars, the way Venus or Jupiter always are, this would be a piece of cake. But its easy anyway.
Look lowish in the southeast anytime after 10 PM or so. Youll see three bright stars forming a triangle. The point on the bottom is orangeand this is a true star, the famous Antares, the heart of the Scorpion.
The one on the right is the brightest of the trio and its orange too. This is Mars.

Fortunately it is one of the constellations that actually sorta resembles what it's suppose to be.
And Mars is a cinch to spot...it's bright and red...so beautiful.
Remember, planets don't twinkle like stars...if that helps you find them.
