This is just too cool for me not to blog.
This
bulletin blog contains two parts: The reposted bulletin, and the TRUTH. Trust me, you'll at least want to read the truth! So. Scroll down and read the Reposted Bulletin, and then come back up and read this next part.
***********THE TRUTH************
See, at first I got excited about this... I'm a space buff, always have been, although I really don't pay attention much anymore. That being said, with a claim of "Mars will look as large as the moon to the naked eye!", well, that's just pure bullshit. Just for reference, the moon is just over 200,000 miles away from the earth (that's surface-to-surface, not center-to-center). It's got to be one fucked up yardstick for 200k to be near 34 million.
So, with a severe case of "Too Good To Be True" syndrome, I knew one thing: hoax. Sure enough,
Snopes had this to say about the "Two Moons on August 27th" hoax.
For those NOT in the know, Snopes is one of the longest-standing and most accurate hoax-busting sites out there. They know their shit. They also know that despite being a hoax email, it's true.
Yes. True in 2003. And yes, Mars was about the size of the moon to the naked eye. That is, if you're comparing looking at the moon with the naked eye to looking at mars through a telescope at approximately 75x magnification power.
So. Don't get your hopes up and all for seeing Mars in some galaxy-defying feat of astrophysics magic, in fact, plan on seeing no moon at all.
Why?
Because there will be a
Total Lunar Eclipse on the very same day.
Do your homework, find where you live, and be amazed. There's almost nothing as amazing as a total lunar eclipse.
Just ask Tim Kring, the creator of Heroes. ;)

*Two moons on 27th August*
*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.
