Mars is clearly visible low in the Eastern sky about 2 hours before dawn. If you were waiting to see Mars as big as the full Moon... Well, that was a hoax. Sorry about that.

What planet is close to earth in August 2009?

Currently (on August 27, 2009) the planet Mercury is closest to the Earth. If you were thinking Mars, guess again; Mars is actually fairly distant. Not QUITE across the solar system from Earth, but over 1.3 AU away! If you thought Mars would be very close, you may have been reading the Mars Hoax.

Will Mars appear larger in August 2009?

No. Mars did make an exceptionally close approach to Earth in August 2003, and every year since, spammers change the date and resend the message. However, Mars will NEVER appear "as big as the full Moon". Right now, on August 9, 2009, Mars rises a little before sunrise and is visible low in the eastern sky at dawn. By January, 2010, Mars will be overhead at midnight, but this will be one of the more distant conjunctions.

Will mars be visible on August 27 2009?
