When was this alignment? To my knowledge Mars is suppose to come into view to where it would look the same size as the moon? Is this correct?

Im not an astronomer in any way, but everyone here in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, believe this to be true, supposed to happen sometime at the end of august.

I believe that the date was to be around August 23, 2005. Anyone else know the actual date?

Corrected info - On Aug. 27 2003, Mars was 34.65 million miles (55.76 million kilometers) away. The last opposition, in 2001, involved a separation of more than 41 million miles (67 million kilometers).
