Careful What You Read on the Web - The Two Moons are Apparitions

Just a short while back, I was sent an email by Oz to post for everyone to benefit from.  Presumably, he received it from someone and like Oz, I was excited to relay it along.  I could not copy the picture from his initial email and went Googling to find the image.  In doing so, I stumbled onto a seemingly legitimate source that debunked the content of Oz's email.  It appears that the email is but a hoax email that has been floating around since the year 2000.  Read here to chronicle the history of this hoax email.


Lesson learned ... keep a little cynicism when reviewing internet content!


                                    THIS IS THE HOAX EMAIL

Hope the skies are clear where you are on August 27th, 2010.

                    Two moons on 27th August 2010

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 August 27 when Mars comes 34.65M miles off 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 2287. Share this with your friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it again.

Wonderful Days at Sauble Beach
