No. That's the "Mars Hoax" that Mars will be close to Earth and appear "as bigas the full moon!".
Not even close to being true.

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.
Is Mars and earth close?

Was mars ever close to earth before 2003?
Yes. Mars comes fairly close to Earth about every 26 months or so as the Earth passes Mars in its orbit. Some approaches are closer than others, due to the fact that both planets are in elliptical orbits. You can see a simulation of Mars and Earth in their orbits at http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/mars/mars_orbit.html. When Mars is closer and Earth is farther away from the Sun, as in August 2003, they do get quite close. But they have had such close approaches every few hundred years since the planets formed 4+ billion years ago.
Will Mars be visible in August 2009?
Yes, Mars will be visible in the morning during the month of August.
