Mars is now beginning the week of best visibility in its current opposition season.  It is already at its biggest, will be nearest to Earth in the following day or two, and will then come to opposition on December 8, a bit more than a week from now.  Its peak brightness will come at opposition owing to the reflected sunlight striking and reflecting off Mars' surface at the most nadir angle.
