Two moons on August 27th!!

**Alysser** · 08-16-2007, 10:17 AM

I got this in an e-mail and thought I would share it. It's a reminder for you guys to look outside on August 27th to see Mars!

*Two moons on 27 August*

*27th Aug the Whole World is waiting for*

Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August.

It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will
culminate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles of earth. Be
sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am . It will look like the earth
has 2 moons. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287 .

Share this with your friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it
again.

If you have children that can understand this they should watch it.

I heard something like this was supposed to happen with Venus or something back in... April... or... something haha. Who knows? Can't hurt to keep an eye out at least

Sorry, I didn't know whether it was true or not. I have never recieved that same e-mail, so I didn't know it had been floating around for years. After a google search I've found the same answer. Thanks for the info critter crazy. I'll still be looking though, I mean you never know.
