Just to share this info with my fellow readers:-
Special Note: After checking with my learned friend Shah at his website, he concluded the posting I cut/paste below is a hoax.My apologies.(3.21pm)
*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 off 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.Note on the photo:Taken on 15 Shawal 1426.It was full moon..If you have observed that I have taken "two moons overlapping one another".Actually,my hands was shaking a bit when I took this photo.
Hi Uncle Adib,
I just read somewhere in the net that this is a hoax. Now don't know which is which.

I took the info from my alumni mailinglist.Honestly,I did not verify the truthfulness of the event.My apologies if this is a hoax.
Later, I check the website of my trusted friend who has better knowledge of the subject matter and he wrote that it is a hoax.
