Got this in an email and wanted to share it with everyone.

Quote :: Two moons on 27 August -- Write this on your calendar!

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.

Mars comes within 34.65 Million miles of earth.

Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am as 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.

Is it really going to be that much closer that it looks as large as the moon? Normally its like....Not very big at all.

Have no clue, i was wondering myself how big it will actually look....To be similar to the moon would be really cool though.

Actually found this...so i'm not so sure now.....
