Mars Bar

Thanks to a reader, James, this posting has been de-bunked.

I have been punked. I fell for it. I believed it....I was looking FORWARD to it.

Damn it.

Thank you James!

*Two moons on 27th August 2007*

*27th August; the day 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 August 27 when Mars comes within 34.65 Million 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.

NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it again .

I have been watching the sky for the meteorite showers which have been nice. This is a good week to watch for them.

This is unfortunately not true. The real event occurred in 2003.
