Title: For skywatchers Ian and Neil
Post by: Dare on August 18, 2007, 02:53:37 AM

      Mark you calendars to look for this one.

      Two moons on August 27, 2007

      *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 culminate 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.

No Ian I thought I found something
untill f1box spoiled this for me

It reminds me of reading of Halley's Comet when I was
just a little kid.I read how awesome a sight it was and
could'nt wait for it's return.I waited over 30 years
for it's spectacular return,when the time came you
could'nt see it with the naked eye.It was at that
moment I learned why we are put on earth.to be toyed
with and dissappointed at every chance
