How To Watch As Mars Aligns With The Moon Just As NASA Lands A Rover On The ‘Red Planet’

You can watch the landing 
live on NASA TV on YouTube at 12:55 p.m. PST/3:55 p.m. EST/8:55 p.m. GMT/UTC and 9:55 p.m. CET on Thursday, February 18, 2021 and see Mars as it passes close to the Moon (as seen from Earth).
