Mars sure must be huge as to be as "large as the full moon" when it's 145 times farther away than said full moon...Maybe Hoagland's face-building martians are building a giant magnifying glass to place in between Mars and Earth for this event.

If all the hoaxes died, though, then what would we all do for fun on this board?
