How do you like my night photos?

Wow, very cool! My mom sent me this information today and it may be of interest to you (I haven't verified it, but she's a pretty reliable source of information usually):


"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 culminate 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."

Thanks guys!

ADozenGirlz,

My mom actually sent me the same exact thing. I will definitely be looking forward to seeing it! I just hope the sky is not cloudy that night!

Well, that shoots my mother's credibility ALL full of holes!
