Mars and the Moon

An email from the illustrious Danica White, whose fidelish green hat I stole upon meeting her at the Pogue last year and who seems to punish me by including on her incessant group emails. Today's, at least, had information, albeit a little hysterically so:

Hello friends, 2 Moons will be visible on 27 August '06. Chance of a LIFETIME. Planet Mars will be will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.. This will be on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65 M miles of Earth. Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am. It will look like the Earth has 2 Moons. Don't Miss it..... The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. NOTE : Share this with your friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it again. ONLY LIFETIME CHANCE THIS TIME.
