If someone does ask you about the planet Mars becoming as big as the
full Moon, this is an invited opportunity to give a little lesson in
astronomy.

Since they were already curious enough to bother asking about this
"event", they might even want to learn more about the Universe, if you
present the situation well enough.

Making lemonade out of a lemon and all that.
