Is tommorow the night when a planet and the moon will make it look like 2 moons? Nancy

I thought it was tonight….I googled it and I found this and a lot of other debunks about it.

I think there's two full moons right now, judging by the recent threads/posts...

Nancy according to Snopes there won't be a close encounter with Mars tomorrow night. In fact there is supposed to a lunar eclipse.

I was planning to stay up to see this. But according to what I read on snopes the next time Mars will appear closer to earth is in December. Then it will not appear as large as the moon.

I copied this off the Nasa sight...Earth and Mars are converging for a close encounter in December 2007. NASA is taking advantage by launching a new mission to Mars--the Phoenix Lander. Phoenix will touch down on an arctic plain where it can dig into the ground and investigate layers of soil and ice, searching for, among other things, a habitable zone for primitive microbes. The launch window opens on August 3rd, so by the time the Perseids arrive Phoenix may be hurtling toward the Red Planet. Landing: late Spring 2008

The total lunar eclipse is Tuesday morning starting around 4:30 AM EDT, but will be best viewed on the West coast

That "Mars will look like another moon in the sky" thing is pure email hoax.

It's amazing how these things take on a life of their own, though -- I've heard this from a dozen different sources over the past couple of weeks
