Hi,
I just received a forwarded message about Mars being"huge" this summer.
25 arc seconds wide. The message went on to say that it'll be as big as
the full moon naked eye.

Like most internet messages..I don't believe it. I thought last summer
was the closest Mars would be until sometime next century. The message
went on to say that Earth and Mars would be 34,649,589 miles apart.
Is this true or not? I lean toward not. Mars was pretty spectacular last
summer. If this year is even marginally better I can't wait.
Thanks
Chip
