I wanted to see it last night with Mars right above the Moon. Conditions not good trees not in the way but clouds did not lift. Only saw a fuzzy Moon 🌚

At the same website I linked to at the top, you can not only get schedules for ISS (International Space Station) passes, but also day-by-day planet positions for any day and time that you want.

Here again is the website:
https://www.heavens-above.com/

For ISS passes, look under Satellites for “ISS” (it does not say “International Space Station”, only “ISS”).

For Planet positions, look under Astronomy for “Sky Chart (Old Version)”. There you can edit the chart to display the sky for any date and time that you want. You can also add elements to the chart such as the ecliptic plane (dotted line). The EP is a line in which all the planets travel upon. It represents the flat plane of the solar system. You can also reverse the black background to white.

Under “Planets”, you will find current data for each planet, such as current distance from Earth, current rise and set times, current brightness, etc.

Note that it is best to register with the site.
This way you can return and your (general) location info will be there anytime you return.
It’’s free. No personal info at all. Only general location, which you can enter by finding your location on the provided map. At the top right of every page, will then appear your selected user name and location.
