Hey Smokinjoe,
If you are referring to that email that's been going around about "Mars being as big as the moon", that is a hoax email that has been circulating since 2003, when Mars actually came within 35 million miles. Now it is at over 60 million miles away.
I just did go out again, and there is a great (and somewhat unusual) moon scene. If you look up, Jupiter is just to the right of the moon (which is waning already) and Jupiter is really bright.
Funny thing you brought that up, since that's what has been on my mind tonight as well.

I guess great minds think alike!
