Having hung out with astronomers in the past, I was very suspicious of
Mars being close enough to look like a full moon!!
Sure enough, it's a hoax.

Here's the NASA information on this:

It WILL be closer, and give a nice view, but it will still look like a
pinprick of light in the sky.

"You are about 3 years too late. This happened back in 2003."

I remember that, but it was the proximity of Mars and the Moon I
believe. We have video footage of that, taken by the astronomers up at
PJC actually!:) Great group.

Ren, going to check out the NASA site again

I couldn't remember the details, but that night we got a video of both
Mars and the Moon, hence my confusion about the celestial event.:)
