Mars is way past their bedtimes however....

The last two Harry Potter books were released at 12:01 AM local time and the
lateness of the hour didn't stop the little ones from staying up past their
bedtimes to line up at the bookstores here......
The neat thing about this event, unlike, say the peak of a meteor shower or
a lunar eclipse, is that the viewing on Friday and Saturday will be just as
good as last night.
On Friday night Mars should come into view at Deer Meadow Observatory around
10:40 PM. Late, but not that late.
