Double Moon August 27

Nope, this isn’t an installment of the Twilight Saga, and we don’t live in a planet called Tatooine (Star Wars, people), but we will be witnessing what seemed to be a mitosis of the moon. But the diploid won’t be a moon for that matter, but a close relative of the Earth that resembles nothing but the shape, Mars.

On August 27, a little pass midnight, the red planet will glow its brightest in the night sky, and drawing as close as 34.65M miles from the Earth, appearing so full as a dish before our naked eyes. It will give the illusion that the night will display two moons, a wonderful sight to behold.

Some experts contest this fact for fiction, blowing steam that at such moment, Mars is farthest from the Earth.

This event only occurs once in every 277 years. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Hey, by that time walking on the moon is just like a walk in the park.
