Recently a few of my friends have approached me asking about the rare occurrence of a 'Double Moon' - that Mars will be so close to us that it will appear almost as large as the moon and that on August 27, 2015 both will appear in the sky.
Well, I figured I'd best direct everyone to this article, "Two Moons on August 27?" (and there are many more) by David Emery of Urban Legends for an explanation. Bottom line, if you don't want to check out the article: it's a long lasting (surprisingly) - hoax!
