"Rare Celestial Event: Moon, Venus, and Mars Align in Tuesday's Night Sky"
TL;DR
The moon and Mars will have their closest approach, called an appulse, and a conjunction on May 24. The best time to observe the duo is either tonight or Wednesday night, before roughly midnight or 1 a.m. At the time of appulse and conjunction, the moon will be five days old, so it'll be a waxing crescent. Mars will be located just 3 degrees and 39 minutes away from the moon at their closest approach.
