Earth with two moons????

[stilllearning]

Just to let you know. I found this on another site and it could be interesting. I hope we get clear skys.

*Two moons on 27th of August and 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 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.

will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye? Maybe to a blind person.

I doubt it will be that big but if in fact it is closer than normal maybe it will be easier to see. I should check snoops.

Sorry about that folks. Why I get suckered in by this stuff I have no idea.

Snoopes says it is a hoax. It was that close on Aug. 27 2003 but only through a telescope did it look like the same size as the moon.


Here is the link if you want the hole story.
