My wife and kids got really excited when I told them about the email I received, stating that on August 27th, at 12:30am, the moon and mars would look like "two moons" in the sky.  When my co-worker sent me this email, we made plans to set the alarm, go outside, and witness this once in a lifetime phenomenon.  This is going to happen tomorrow!  Here's what the email read:

*Two moons on August 27*
*Aug 27 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.

Naturally, who wouldn't want to miss a spectacular event like this.  As we travelled home from our weekend at the "Beach House" at Dillon Beach, we were making our plans and discussing how we would prepare and be ready to enjoy this wonderful event.  When we finally got settled back home this evening, I decided to see if this was for real or just a Hoax!
