Mars will appear bigger and brighter in the sky today than it has done for 15 years - and it won't be pulling the same stunt again until 2035, which feels a particularly long way off after the year we've all had.
The planet will look like a bright red star when it appears in the night sky today (Tuesday 13 October), rising at about 7pm before it reaches peak visibility just after midnight.
The reason it's happening is because Mars is going into opposition with Earth, which means it's the moment it lines up with the Earth and the Sun.
While opposition occurs around every 26 months, meaning it is set to happen again until 2023, this one is due to be particularly good as it's one of the closest since 2003. That time, Mars was 34 million miles away, which was the closest it's been in 60,000 years (and the closest it'll be until 2287).
It should be visible before it peaks, but according to the Royal Observatory Greenwich it'll be at its best at around 1am on Wednesday morning (14 October).
Royal Observatory astronomer Hannah Banyard told the Daily Mail: "It's a really good chance to view it - the last time this happened was 2018 but it was quite difficult for a lot of people to see because it was quite down in the horizon."
You won't need any special kit to see it, either, as it will be easily seen with the naked eye if you just look eastwards towards the constellation Pisces - although if you've got a telescope knocking about, you may also be able to see surface features and polar ice caps.
