there's an orange star in what I think is the eastern sky at the moment - it's pretty bright and isn't particularly either high or low in the sky (wasn't sure if anyone would know by 'it's medium in the sky' would mean)! Does anyone know what it is? Is it Mars? Thanks for any help.
Mars travels from east (after dusk) to west (before dawn) in the vicinity of the Pleiades (a small cluster of bright stars) a little further west each night.
