MARS! on 27th August..

I got this email today:

******
Dear All,

FYI


*Two moons on 27 August*

*27th Aug the Whole World is waiting for .............*

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

Share this with your friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it again.

This email is somewhat true..
if not for the fact that they have forgotten to put the... YEAR!
It happened like 4 years ago.. 27th August 2003.

I remember i went down with Fazi and my girls, sat at the beach at night to catch a glimpse of the 'red' star/moon - whatever u want to call it.

So.. whoever got this and was looking forward to it.. sorry guys..
u're not 25 minutes too late.. but 4 YEARS too late.




but no worries guys,
Nah.. kesian siapa yang miss..here's a pic of Mars from space.com


Beautiful isn't it?
Subhanallah.
