Answer 1

I'm sorry, but this is a hoax. Please refer to the following article found on Earth and Sky. But don't let this deter you from celebrating and worshipping. As for being Solitary ... you're never alone when you walk between worlds....

"It's happening again.

For the third time in three years, people are writing to us, amazed and confused about a new email in their inboxes announcing, among other things, that Mars will be closer than ever in recorded history in August 2006.

What's more, the email says, "Mars will look as large as the full moon to the unaided eye."

But, although it contains a grain of truth, this email is a hoax.

Mars will NOT be particularly close to Earth in August 2006.

The email is a rehash from 2003. Though based in a true event from that year, it was wildly exaggerated the first time it circulated.

In August of 2003, Mars came minutely closer to Earth than it had in recorded history. Then it appeared as a blazing red "star" in our night sky. But Mars did not - never has and never will - appear as large as the full moon. As seen from Earth, the only object that appears as big as the full moon in our night skies is the full moon itself. See the Earth & Sky article Can Mars appear as large as the moon?

Mars comes close to Earth about every two years, whenever Earth passes between Mars and the sun. Every 15 years, Mars comes particularly close. That's what was happening in 2003.

I've seen a couple of these very close approaches of Mars over my career as a skywatcher. They are impressive and beautiful. For a month or so, Mars blazes very bright. But the size of a full moon? Never.

So what's happening with Mars this year? Nothing at all.

For most of 2006, Mars is on the far side of the sun from us. Throughout late July and August 2006, Mars is about as inconspicuous as it can get. It's low in the west after sunset. By September 2006 - as Earth continues to outrace Mars in orbit - our faster motion in orbit will bring the sun between us and Mars. Then Mars won't be visible at all. It'll be crossing the sky with the sun during the day.

When we next see Mars, around the end of 2006, it'll be in the east before dawn. For several months it'll be as inconspicuous in the east before dawn as it now in the west after sunset.

But Earth will still be racing along in orbit, in contrast to Mars' slower speed. We'll catch up to Mars again, and pass between it and the sun in December of 2007.

That's when Mars will appear bright in our sky again!"

Best Wishes!

Bless your heart!! If it is a hoax, don't feel bad. Some people just don't have anything better to do with their time.

If I were you, and you want to celebrate anyway, I'd take an evening walk and commune with the night sky and listen to the world around you. Hopefully you live near some nice open country where this is possible, but if not I'd go to the park. Parks are so cool and give a wonderful vibe at night.

Bright Blessings!!

Answer 3

Mars has never been as big in earth's sky as the moon. You're crazy. The moon is not much smaller than mars but it is hundreds of times closer.

Answer 4

Party like it's 1999. Thanks to the "anti-hoax" dude.

So in December 2007 you should prepare for a "war" in your world. The conflict could be internal or external. Beware.

Answer 5

Agreed with charles.
