No. This is a repeat of a hoax from 2006. At it's nearest Mars will only look about 500 times smaller than the Moon.
on august 26th 2010, mars is coming very close to earth--so you should be able to see it from your front lawn or out your window. Supposedly Mars will look as large as the moon from the sky.
Dear all, Two moons on 27th August 2010 27th Aug the Whole World is waiting for.... 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 off earth. Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 @ 11:00 PM (UAE Local Time). It will look like the earth has 2 moons. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Share this with your friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it again.

Yes. In early August, look for Mars to rise about 2:30 AM, and be about 35 degrees above the eastern horizon at dawn. Mars will rise earlier and earlier throughout the month, rising about 1:30 AM by the end of August.
Low in the east before dawn. Mars is the little red dot in the sky; not particularly impressive, I'm sorry to say.
No. It is physically impossible for the planet Mars to appear in earth's sky, as close as the Moon. At its closest, Mars is about 40 million miles away. The Moon is only about 238,000 miles. ______________________ You are probably referring to the "Mars Hoax" e-mails that come around every August 27. On August 27, 2003, Mars did come a little closer than usual to the Earth; it was "only" 0.37272 AU away, or about 34.6 MILLION miles. A breathtakingly hysterical e-mail went around declaring that Mars would look AS BIG AS THE FULL MOON, and then added in small type on the next page, "when seen through a 75-power telescope". In 2010, the closest approach to Mars occurred on January 29, 2010, at an entirely unimpressive 0.664 AU, or about 60 million miles. The next "fairly close" CPA to Mars will be on July 27, 2018, at a distance of 0.384 AU.
Yes. Mars will be visible low in the Eastern sky starting about 2 hours before dawn. But Mars will NEVER look "as big as the full moon!" as the Mars Hoax insists. Sorry; it won't happen.
On August 27th 2003, Mars was at its closest to Earth for some time - still a distance of 56 million km, but some communication at the time hyped it up a bit more than necessary (it was never as bright or as big as the full moon). Every year since then, an email has been circulated around the internet claiming various things like: * "no human being has seen in recorded history" * "NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN" * "The Red Planet is about to be spectacular" * "Mars will look as bright as the full moon" * "It will look like the earth has 2 moons" and that on August 27th everyone should race outside and look at Mars. It's all not true. Mars reaches opposition in late January, 2010, and even then it will still just look like a medium-brightness red star. So tell your friends it's a hoax and it's spam, and wait until this time next year when you start receiving them again
