mars may have came close enough to be seen be telascope to look as big as the full moon, but mars did NOT come close enough to be seen(that big) by the un-aided eye
Mars is NOT coming!!! It is false that rumor. the last time Mars was close to the earth was in 2003. If Mars would come close to the earth looking as big as the moon, we would be in BIG trouble. MARS IS COMING ONLY ON THE MUSICAL WAY.
Yes, I found out (embarassingly for an amateur astronomer) that fact after I published this. I thought of pulling it, but everyone seems to like it anyway, so why not just enjoy the video?
Glad to see someone excited about astronomy, but I'm sorry to tell you this is not going to happen. When Mars is on close approach it appears only as a bright red spot in the sky, barely distinguishable from a star, and that is all. If it looked as big as the Moon we would all be in very deep trouble. A telescope will be able to see it in much more detail than usual. 2003 was the last close approach and 2016 will be the next. However, an event such as this has never and will never happen.
I've had a few emails in telling me all about this. One thing wrong though! This has already happened! It took place in Aug of 2003! Yes, SIX years ago!
great,,,good instrutive video,,keep on the good work

At 32 000 000 range Mars would have to be VERY big to look the size of the Moon at only 300 000 range.
The next event is 2016 I believe, but sorry it won't look as big as the Moon, if it did, I think you should start running!

Why?? what will happen if Mars gets as near as the moon does???

XxLocoxx19Xx, Basicaly if it got that close it would completly disrupt our tides and probably our orbit and then our seasons.

it would be the end of us way before even mars would get near the moons orbit
