Only in Photoshop two moons can appear in sky on 27the August #moon #mars

Every August e-mails and different posts in social media circulate which suggest we are about to have a close encounter with Mars. All of these stories are just HOAX.

The Mars Hoax got its start in 2003 when Earth and Mars really did have a close encounter. On Aug. 27th of that year, Mars was only 56 million km away, a 60,000-year record for martian close approaches to Earth.

Some of the images accompanying the messages suggest that August 27, 2014 would be a full moon night but in fact it would be a waxing moon that will be only 2.35% full.
