But there will not be two moons tonight. Or ever. According to EarthSky this hoax has been hanging around for 12 years. Sorta like the Rapture-that-never-came, eh?
One of the "moons" is supposed to be Mars. When did Mars morph into a moon? There's your first clue right there. Mars as large as the moon! I don't believe that is even scientifically possible. There's a second clue that this ain't right. The fact that Mars isn't even visible in August at the same time as the full moon should be a clue...if people would think for a few minutes. Or check a reliable source such as The Sky Live. Passing around such things does not do wonders for one's intelligence...
If anyone sees two moons tonight, you might wanta see a doctor about that...
