What is the name of that big bright yellow orange star east to the constellation gemini,?

not pollux more east than that, i think it may be in cancer, but it doesn't same to be in my star maps, its not a planet because it is in the same place relative to the other stars every nightWhat is the name of that big bright yellow orange star east to the constellation gemini,?Looking at my Stellarium skymap, Mars is right next to Cancer at the moment. Just like you describe.

Mars is a planet!What is the name of that big bright yellow orange star east to the constellation gemini,?I believe it is Mars.

You won't notice Mars moving much - it will be there night after night.

One little test - stars twinkle, planets generally don't.
