Apparently this is a hoax that circulates every year.

This email is sent around time and time again. Every time one of the planets happens to be near us it does appear brighter than usual, and often as bright as the moon. But the fact is, it looks no larger than usual so is not particularly spectacular. The emails that come round make it sound like the planet in question will appear as big as the moon, and this is not at all true (pity as would look great!)

I'd imagine that if Mars appeared in the sky, the same size as the moon, we'd have a tidal problem...[msnscared]

Well what a fool I feel[msnscared]

Sorry everybody-now I'll send my bank details to that nice man in Nigeria..........

The Eclipse was a big event here in the USA, as it's not often you get a total eclipse. I believe it wasn't visible from the UK.
