Yep, Marz and Venuz and Zupiter and Zaturn and Uranuz were all there. 6 moons in the sky all at once. Wow what a site. Shoulda been there.

Mars was close on August 27, 2003, but not this August. And even back in 2003 it just looked like a bright star. It never looks as big as the Moon. Not even close. That bogus E-mail has made the rounds of the web every summer since 2003, but it is just wrong.

Yes, it did.
Mars is visible in the sky for more than half the year - the only time its not visible when its orbit makes it appear to be close to or behind the sun (from our perspective).
Mars is one of the planets known and observed by the ancient Greeks and Romans, so its visible to the naked eye to us (if we bother to look up at night).
Right now, Mars rises in the east after local midnight - its a bright reddish star that doesn't twinkle. Each night it rises a little earlier in the night.
By December it will be its brightest (it will be at opposition) and will be visible a few hours after sunset for most of the night (just like Jupiter is right now and has been for a few months).
So you can go out any night this fall and see Mars.
