WATCH LIVE: NASA's 'Curiosity' Rover as It Lands on Mars Tonight

Feeling curious about Mars, also known as the red planet?

Well, NASA's latest Mars rover and science laboratory called the "Curiosity" is set to land on Mars at 10:31 p.m., tonight. Here in Laguna Niguel, you will be able to watch the landing live by clicking here on NASA TV beginning at 8:30 pm. 

Curiosity has already given us some spectacular pictures. Mars is currently traveling through the sign of Libra and is a approaching Saturn. If you have a telescope or it's a really clear night you can see the two together around Aug. 15 or so.

Curiosity is going to give us more facts about Mars. Did you know that just like Earth the poles of Mars are covered with ice and the ice gets thicker every winter? At night the temperature on Mars can drop to -191 degrees Fahrenheit. Mars also has volcanoes though there hasn't been a eruption in a while.

Mars takes 687 days to travel around the Sun. Currently, it's about half way through the sign of Libra and will move into Scorpio on Aug. 24. Mars in Libra gives us the urge to connect with new friends and potential partners. It also can cause breaks in friendship so bad that enemies can form, Mars was named after the Roman god of war after all.

We tend to speak our mind when Mars is in Libra, not considering all the consequences. We can also spend time comparing ourselves with others, so we can determine whether we are being treated fairly and that opportunities are distributed in a balanced fashion.

And on Mars, a 150-pound person weighs only 57 pounds – making Mars my personal favorite planet.

Curiosity will be sending us information from Mars for at least a year, even through the Martian winter. It's going to collect and analyze rock and dirt samples, and beam us back the info.
