Right now, as of 11:54pm CDT, the apparent magnitude is -2.5 with a phase of 97.1%. So we're getting pretty close as it is.
Fascinating!

Uranus is also in the same vicinity as Mars, only with an apparent magnitude of +5.7 (the faintest naked eye star is +6.5). Neptune is close by, too, but with an apparent magnitude of +7.8 it can't be seen with the naked eye.
FWIW.
