Two Moons...this is cool!

[Dawn419]

All our children and children's children should see this as it will never be again for any of us...........I for one can't wait.........on the calendar it goes!



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 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.

Didn't that happen a couple years ago? I remember we bought a telescope to see it. Maybe it was a different planet we looked at.

If you got that in an email it's a hoax. Check out this site which explains the whole thing.

This was posted a couple weeks ago as well.
If you ever see 2 moons going around the earth, you dont have long to live.
It is not possible for mars to look as large as the moon in our sky.
There has only been one time in the earths history when a planet looked as close to the earth as our moon and that was just before the collision that created the moon.

However, there are times when we get closer to mars and that is a good time to get out your binoculars or telescope and check it out.

Just look for the red star in the sky thats not in the orion constalation, thats usually the one

Added, Jupiter has also been hanging around in the south lately and is also worth a look, if you get interested in planets. ( its the big one in the south, can't miss it)

"Sorry just found out . . . this is a hoax – go to Urban Legends (www.urbanlegends.about.com) and type in two moons in the search bar. Sorry."

 

[Wolfpacker]

I'll bet some of those folks on that "You Might Be a Redneck . . . " thread have seen two moons - maybe even three or four!

Us hillbillies see multiple moons any time plumbers or construction workers pass by. Why should a couple extra in the sky bother us
