THere is no planet that is going to be super visible in the next couple of days. Jupiter is high in the south after dark and Venus and Saturn are both visible right after dawn.
On Sunday, Aug. 27. just after dawn Saturn and Venus will appear very close together, which will make them a good thing to spot with binoculars.
The whole thing about Mars being as big as the moon is a HOAX. Mars is currently at opposition which means it is on the opposite side of the side from us.

Each "apparition" of Mars, from the time you can first spot Mars in the east rising just before the sun and fading in the light of dawn, to the end of the apparition when Mars sets in the west just after sunset, lasts about a year. There is no time when Mars (or any planet) suddenly appears out of nowhere for a day or two and then disappears. Since Mars takes almost two years to go around the sun, while the earth takes one, Mars is on "our" side of the sun half the time and on the "other" side of the sun the other half, and thus invisible.

If the solar surely went "away" then all human beings could freeze to dying. The solar factors warmth for the Earth. additionally, lots of the international runs off the solar, and all of it's warmth and potential. we would maybe final 3 days (on the least) earlier all human beings demise. ultimately, in approximately 2 billion years the solar will "evolve" right into a purple substantial. by that element (with any luck) the human beings of Earth could have stepped forward themselves, and be waiting to stay on different planets. while the solar enters the purple substantial area the Earth will fry (actually). it may be like Jupiter (uninhabitable).

I received an e-mail saying that Mars was supposed to be within viewing range on the 27th of this month and is supposed to be as clear to the eyes as the moon. I have seen a bright spot in the southern sky at midnight and its getting brighter as the days go by. I'm assuming that its not a satalite and that the e-mail was correct.

If you recieved that email, it is all a hoax. There isn't supposed to be a planet visible for a little while.
