Mars is amazingly still visible in the evening sky if you look low in the west about an hour after sunset across a perfectly flat horizon.  In this view from a high point in the Poconos, we have the crescent Moon to the left of Spica, with Mars, now only magnitude +1.61, which is fainter than Castor, just visible to Spica's right.  Spica and Mars annotated, the low angle of the ecliptic highlighted, and an unannotated image.
