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 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 in 2287.


Neat.

You do realise that this is when the Martians will launch an attack to try to conserve fuel and power?

EDIT: 12:30am WHERE?

I somehow doubt that Mars's apparent size could actually match that of the full moon, given the distances involved

OK, I just misread "Mars's" in my unfinished post as "Mario's".

Yeah, seemed kind of fishy given the distance and apparent size.

This shit rolls around every August...

How can the internet be fooled every year? It's like the internet has Alzheimer's disease.

To be fair, this is the first I've ever seen or heard of it.

But really, a simple Google search would've revealed the lie instantly...

Mars attacks!

...No, really, if that were true, well, I'd like to know what the scientific ramifications of that would be. Probably major stuff.

Tell a man that there are 3 billion stars in the sky and he will believe you. Tell a man that the paint is wet and he will touch it to make sure.
