Comments: Roughly accurate -- or it was in 2003, at any rate, when this message first began circulating online.
It was not accurate when the identical text circulated again in 2005, nor when it reappeared for another go-around in 2006, nor when it cropped up again in 2007.
The \\\"Mars Spectacular\\\" or \\\"Close Encounter\\\" or \\\"Two Moons\\\" described in various versions of the email came and went in 2003. Period.
On August 27 of that year, the orbital paths of Earth and Mars brought the two planets to within 34.65 million miles of one another -- closer than at any other time in the past 50,000 years. Though Mars never actually appeared \\\"as large as the full moon to the naked eye\\\" (as claimed in the email), the red planet did vividly dominate the night sky for a time, making 2003\\\'s close encounter a once-in-a-lifetime event indeed for astronomers, space enthusiasts, and ordinary observers alike.
