Two moons on 27th August 2010



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 cultivate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles off 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.

This non-event has been doing the rounds for the last three years to my certain knowledge.

If Mars ever gets that close to us we will be in deep trouble. ;-)

This 'eski dashak' comes round every couple of years. Don't be fooled by it. Look at

Hope this saves you a wasted night.

OOOOPS. Sorry people.



Just checked and you are quite right. I didn't do my homework.



Apologies
