Apparently today Mars is 34,64 milion miles closer to Earth, and that it will look like two moons above. 2287 is the year that Mars will ever be close to Earth again.

"Will Mars appear as large as a full moon in August 2010?"

Mars can never appear as large as a full moon as seen from Earth,

and Mars will not even be at its brightest in August of 2010.

Well, they claimed that it will look like that at 00.30 but I just heard about it, so I didn't really have the chance to see. So it has come closer to Earth though, that's a fact yes?
