Here is some updated Mars info.
The Earth-Mars distance is 0.4 AU right now. That's approximately 60 000 000 kilometres. This continues to decrease toward opposition.
The phase is 0.98 or 98%. Nearly full.
The magnitude is -2.44. Quite bright. And will increase.
Current apparent visible size is 22". This will increase too.
It crosses the meridian, above the south cardinal point, at around 3:00 AM.
Mars will reach opposition in about 17 days.
