*Two moon on 27 August*
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.
a fact!!!!!
7 August, 2007 at 3:52 pm #282021Unfortunately this is an internet joke, I first heard about it a few months ago, but apparantly its been going round for a while.
Im actually gutted cos I got all excited and put the date in my diary :oops: but then I am gullible :lol:
7 August, 2007 at 4:36 pm #282022Yes, this is a joke. Mars is a bit smaller than earth but quite a lot bigger than the moon. But at 34 million miles away it is 136 times as far away as the moon. So it could not possibly look anything near the size of the moon even using the figures quoted in the hoax.
An object’s apparent size is inversely proportionate to it’s distance from the viewer. If a box is moved from 5 metres away to 10 metres away it will appear half as wide and half as high.
7 August, 2007 at 10:27 pm #282023Indeed, a complete cunt of an idea. A bit similar to we’re full in that respect.
7 August, 2007 at 11:04 pm #282024Not heard from you in a while Pikey lol!!!
7 August, 2007 at 11:15 pm #282025On that note , I think I`ll wait until 2287 & watch it then :)

Bit like you then?
8 August, 2007 at 9:28 am #282027Absolutely. Do excuse me, Dibb’s, I was smashed senseless last night. I had become a bit like the black costumed Spidey in Spiderman III. I was Darkpikey, Mr Hyde. You have my full apologies for my inelegance. If I get the chance today, I will abuse an innocent immigrant for you by way of recompense.
