Mars has been so bright lately that I thought that all I was looking at Jupiter all this time, until I looked on an astronomy map and realized that they were at opposite ends of the sky (i.e. Mars was rising in the east while Jupiter was setting in the west).

Same here. Although the orange color made me suspicious. I just checked an online planetarium and Mars is brighter right now, -2.77 vs. -2.13 for Jupiter.
