We're getting more emails each day about the Mars hoax.
Mars being very close to the earth happened a few years ago, check out the link on the right.
No, mars will not be that close to earth and it won't look like the moon. The closeness event happened in 2003. Since then, every August, we get inundated with confused viewer email on this, so hopefully you can know be ahead of the game.
