Two moons 2010, tropical storm earl, hurricane danielle path The NASA article mentions a 2005 sending of the two moons hoax email
I was planning my friday evening after someone told me about the two moons of August today.
But then I realized how ludicrous the reality of having two moons pass into the night sky would be so I quickly ran to my pc to do some research on this potential cosmic phenomenon.
It wasn't long until I came up to a search result for Two Moon E mail hoax and just as quickly my plans for this week of August 2010 had to be reassessed.
The two moon hoax started in 2003 and has also been referred to as the Mars hoax or Mars-earth email hoax.
Since then it has been a recurring theme that keeps popping into people's emails. The date given for the two moons of August is almost always August 27.
The most recent email read as follows:

Dear allNow, if that isn't snake oil that burns your bottom then see how one blog managed to correlate 2012 and the Mayan prophecies to this non event. The ScienceRay website allowed publisher Ishmael to print the warning in, which had it been true would have happened in August 2009.
Two moons on August 27, 2010....
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 million miles from Earth. Be sure to watch the sky on that night for the two moons of August at 11 pm. The next time earth may come this close to Mars again like this is in the year 2287.
Share this with your friends as no one will live to see this again.
Somehow Ishmael found his evidence through the International Planetarium in Vancouver, Canada.
Ishmael also had this to say about the two moon prediction.
the most interesting of all is that this [prophetic event] was provided in a code Mayan pyramid found on the side of the Observatory Hotel in Palenque, Chiapas, Mexico...Now, one could ask how many Tequila's Ishmael had before falling drunk upon this great discovery.
The link for Ishmael's post is as follows...I don't want to link to it so you have to type it in to follow up...

However with more research on my part I was able to find a NASA Science article called Beware of Mars Hoax.
The NASA article mentions a 2005 sending of the two moons hoax email. That article states that such an event would cause massive tide swells by altering earth's orbit. However there was no need to panic since no such Mars Moon event would occur. In reality, October of 2005 would offer a better view of the red planet but nothing close to the information sent out in the hoax letter.
Finally the NASA article as this tidbit of info that is interesting....
You might remember another encounter with Mars about two years ago, on August 27, 2003. That was the closest in recorded history, by a whisker(maybe that should read "by a few whiskeys" but I doubt this writer is in the same league as Ishmael...lol), and millions of people watched as the distance between Mars and Earth shrunk to 56 million km. This October's encounter, at 69 million km, is similar. To casual observers, Mars will seem about as bright and beautiful in 2005 as it was in 2003.So here we have another case of people trying to play a little game on fragile minds. I guess the people who send out this type of crap probably have some kind of weird hope of being the next Orson Wells who played the War of the Worlds Hoax in 1938.
