near miss
The gold line is the north limit: along it Mars grazes the Moon's northern edge. North of the line, Mars misses: from Novosibirsk, RU it passes 0.1′ outside the Moon. Right on the line it grazes, blinking behind lunar mountains. The solid line uses the Moon's real, mountainous edge. It lies -20.2 to +4.8 km from the smooth-sphere line (dotted).
In the violet area the Sun has set, so the reappearance is in a darkening sky.

At the Moon's edge
Mars's path across the Moon from your location. North up, east left, as in binoculars. Times here are computed in your browser from the same ephemeris as the table, to the same ±2 s. Drag the slider to move it along its track.
Advanced · graze profile against the real lunar limb
For graze chasers. The Moon's real edge as you see it, from LRO LOLA terrain, with Mars's track for six minutes around each contact. Where the track dips below the terrain, Mars is hidden; near a graze it blinks behind peaks.
City by city
Times are against the real lunar limb (LRO LOLA terrain at each city's own libration). Disappears: Mars is fully hidden (it starts sliding in at the earlier time). Reappears: the first sliver returns. Where to look: the Moon's height (0° horizon, 90° overhead), its direction, and whether the Sun is up.

How to watch
Method & accuracy
Positions from the JPL DE431 ephemeris (Skyfield), ΔT = 69.1 s. City times and the solid limit line use the real lunar limb: LRO LOLA terrain (LDEM_64, ~0.5 km) as each observer sees it. That changes times by a few seconds, or tens of seconds near a graze. The any-location solver in your browser and the shaded region still use the mean sphere of 1737.4 km (±2 s). Mars's own disc (6″ across) is included: partial contacts are the from/to times. The numbers behind this page: mars-2026-10-05.json. Generated 2026-09-14.
