Mark your calendar! Mars is supposed to be so close to the Earth that it will look like we have two moons. I can't wait! This may not happen again for like 250 years.

Nevermind. According to Snopes.com, it's false. But i do seem to remember reading about it on a reputable website.

This already happened Aug. 27th, 2003.

Apparently this is an e-mail that circulates every August. I've never seen it before but then again, I've only had a computer for not even 2 years. Too bad, I wanted to see it.

Sandy, you can see Mars this week as well, i just won't be quite as close. I went out to see it in 2003, and it wasn't as amazing as I had expected, but still beautiful.
