Mars is 3.8 arcs at present, almost as small as it will appear. Saturn is about to rise on the opposite side of the sky with Jupiter soon after. Next Mars opposition will be Dec 8, 2022 at 17 arcsec. The last one was 22 arcsec so it’s going to be quite a few years before Mars will be approx 25. Very close oppositions are 15-17 years apart. Oppositions are 26 months apart.
