Mars In the Sky as Big as the Moon

So tonight, my Mom asks me if I'd heard anything about Mars appearing as big as the moon sometime soon (she'd read about it in an email.) I said no, and that I was a little suspicious about such a claim.

So I look on-line, and sure enough there's an article here from NASA debunking the myth.

But I did learn something. The first article I found, from the Salt Lake Tribune, mentions that they investigated the rumor with the NASA Ambassador to Utah.

Now, I had never heard of NASA Ambassadors, and so I was curious.
