Re: [Assam] Fw: Two Moons on 27th August 2010
O'Deka: Aapuni kintu eibaar 'hoax--ot porile'. This apparently is another 'urban legend'. As you and others know, I am no astronomer, not even an astrologer. But the claim sounded a little far-fetched, that Mars will look like the moon. So I Googled " two moons".

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 off earth. Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am. (EDT) It will look like the earth has 2 moons. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.
