    It will appear as a bright pale pinkish dot. It will be brighter than any star or any other planet except Venus.

    Mars is currently looking less red than usual, more of a washed out pale orange, due to the on going planet-wide dust storm. That is almost certain to continue well past July 31.

    If you can get up before sunrise, it looks very close in the western sky.

    Mars looks incredible right now, a bright red, earning its epithet as The Red Planet. Mars never looks white.

    It's not going to look terribly different in about 2 weeks than it does today.

    It's visible now, as a reddish dot. Look towards the south after about 10 PM. http://www.nakedeyeplanets.com/mars-path...

    Mars is ALWAYS visible as a Red Planet. I have never seen it as a white dot. You look at it closely and it is RED.

    Mars will be a bright reddish orange starlike light in the sky. With a telescope, you can see a disk and some surface markings.
