On dit qu'au mois d'août, la planète Mars va devenir aussi grosse (à l'oeil) que que la Lune. Elle devrait atteindre son maximun de grosseur le 27 août vers les 3h du matin, elle devrait être juste à coté de la Lune. Mars va commence a grossir dès le commencement du mois d'août, on va pouvoir regarder son évolution pendant tout le mois.

11 JULY 2005 – There seems to be an e-mail circulating about saying that Mars will be a spectacular sight, and the size of the full moon at the end of August. This seems to be a rehash of an e-mail from 2003 with the same erroneous information. I believe the original author(s) of that message meant to say that at some particular magnification in a telescope, Mars could appear the same size as the full Moon is to the naked eye.
So, to clear up the confusion, opposition this year is on 7 November at which point the size of Mars will be about 19.9 arcseconds. Note that closest approach will be on 30 October at which point Mars will have a diamter of about 20.2 arcseconds. The difference is due to the highly elliptical nature of Mars' orbit. |

Read ? Who reads here, seriously ? LOL.
Yeah ok ok. Hoax. Got it. But at least it sounded somewhat convincing for once. None of that " you will have instant good luck if you send this to 500 friends " uninspired crap we usually get.

Never thought it would be as big as the moon, that's just stupid. I'd be hittin a bunker if that was the case. But it is closer than it has or will be in a long time. |

It was on August 27th 2003 that Mars was the closest it had been in 60000years... It won't happen again for a little while (a few thousand years)...
