I find that difficult to believe.
I saw the moon around that time. The one moon. Nothing else covered nearly so much of the sky.

Today is the day Mars isn’t as big as the Moon!
Quote:
1) Mars is not as big as the Moon in the sky.
2) Mars can never be as big as the Moon in the sky.
3) You need a decent telescope to even see Mars as a disk instead of little orangey ball of light.
4) If Mars looked as big as the Moon, we’d be in for a whole peck of trouble.
5) Mars isn’t even close to the Earth in its orbit right now. We’re approaching it, like a car on the inside track at a raceway, but it’ll be December until we’re at our closest. Even then, it’ll be tens of millions of miles away.
6) Conclusion: go outside if you want, and enjoy the night sky. Jupiter is nice. But Mars is still a long way off and not much to see.
