is the following true?:
Two moons on August 27, 2007
*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.

Comments: The text of this rumor was roughly accurate when it first began circulating in the summer of 2003, outdated when it went around again in 2005, and just plain false when it appeared for the third time in 2006. It is now 2007, and making the email rounds again. How many times can a "once in a lifetime" event occur? The oscillating orbits of Mars and Earth did, in fact, bring the two planets closer together on August 27, 2003 than at any other time during the past 50,000 years. Though Mars never actually appeared "as large as the full moon" -- not even close -- for a few days in 2003 it was indeed the brightest object in the night sky. In October 2005 another well-publicized "close encounter" occurred, though in that case the planets were about 13 million kilometers further apart than during the 2003 event. Nothing so spectacular is predicted for 2007.

*yawn!*
This is getting tiring.
This crazy email has been floating around for the last 5 years, and the big even is always next month.
At 34 million miles, Mars will look like a bright star. Mars comes within 36 million miles nearly every year.
The Moon is half the size but 136 times closer, you do the math and figure if it makes Mars look as big as the Moon.

That myth started in 2003, when Mars did come unusually close in August. But this year Mars will not get close until winter, and then not as close as it did in 2003. And even in 2003 Mars did not look as big as the Moon. It never gets that close.

Oh.yeah! I don't know if it's true,but did you get that in an e-mail. Because I did! I'm going to look that night. But I'm keeping my eyes open to see about this and the meteor shower happening tomarrow night. I'll tell you if I get any info!
KK =]
P.S. It doesn't matter if anyone else says it's a myth or a hoax,i'm still going to see if it's true,when some other people might not see it.

No. It's been a myth that gets big every year since idiots starting getting on the internet. It's impossible, and if it happened the planets would collide and we'd die. Have a nice day.

I just set my alarm so I can see it along with my son-we love doing things like this together.
