A mode is just a certain way of expressing a scale. In this case, the C Mixolydian mode expresses the scale in the same way as the F major diatonic scale. The C Mixolydian mode contains the following notes: C, D, E, F, G, A, and Bb.
I personally like the spacey quality of this mode, and it works quite well in many chord progressions that involve the C major chord and the Bb major chord.
Also note that the major pentatonic scale is encoded within the Mixolydian mode (the same simple orange-circle pattern from a few days ago).
