Calling down the moon, a red giant.

Well, as it turns out, this is bogus. See Shaunyx's comment for the snopes link. Mea culpa, I'm a jackass.

Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August. It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will cultivate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles of earth. Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am. It will look like the earth has 2 moons. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.
