Why do people think that Mars will appear as big as the moon?
Submitted by Tom Sierszenski on August 27, 2007 - 1:10am.
Has anybody heard anyone saying that tonight Mars will appear as big as the moon to the naked eye? The past couple weeks I've been encountering people everywhere who think this! Where did this idea come from? I think I might have offended some people by my response to them telling me this... I'm not trying to be rude, I just can't believe how this little piece of misinterpreted information has spread around to everyone. I thought it was common knowledge that this was impossible! Someone somewhere has misunderstood something in an astronomy magazine and it's spread like wildfire!

Eclipse...
There is, however, a Lunar eclipse tomorrow... And one for my birthday next year. I wonder what my horiscope will say about that...

HOAX!
if mars ever got that close to earth, I'm sure we'd all have to accept fate and die..because the solar system has abandoned its "system"
I'm sure there'll be someone like bruce willis, who'll blast up and blow the shit out of mars before it came too close to us...
