Two moons on August 27th, 2010
The whole world is waiting for August 27th……….. Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August and will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes within 34.65M miles of earth. Be sure to watch the sky on August 27th at 12:30 am. It will look like the Earth has 2 moons. The next time Mars comes this close will be in 2287. Share this with your friends as no one alive today will ever see it again.
WRONG
Analysis: False. The text of this rumor was roughly accurate when a version of it first began circulating in the summer of 2003.
It was outdated by the time it went around again in 2005, however, and just plain false when it appeared for the third and fourth times in 2006 and 2007.
It flooded the Internet under the header “Two Moons on August 27″ in 2008, and as a slide show entitled “Mars Spectacular” in 2009.
It’s now 2010. How many times can a “once in a lifetime” event occur?
Here are the facts. Seven years ago, on August 27, 2003, the oscillating orbits of Mars and Earth did, in fact, bring the two planets closer together than at any other time during the past 50,000 years. And though Mars never actually appeared “as large as the full moon to the naked eye” — not even close — it was indeed, for a few special days in 2003, among the brightest objects in the night sky.
October 2005 brought another well-publicized “close encounter,” though in that case Earth and Mars were about 13 million kilometers further apart than during the 2003 event.
Nothing so spectacular is predicted for 2010.
On the BRIGHT side:
There is a very clear sky today, so the chances of seeing Mars and a Beautiful Full Moon should be excellent!
God cannot reach everywhere…So he created Mothers on the Earth!!! . .  THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WORLD BETTER THAN MOTHER’S LOVE…….

Here his mate is injured and the condition is fatal.
She was hit by a car as she swooped low across the road.
Here he brought her food and attended to her with love and compassion.
He brought her food again but was shocked to find her dead.
He tried to move her….a rarely-seen effort for swallows!
Aware that his sweetheart is dead and will never come back to him again,
he cries with adoring love.
He stood beside her, saddened of her death.
Finally aware that she would never return to him, he
stood beside her body with sadness and sorrow.
And many people think animals don’t have a brain or feelings?????

Iceland’s volcano ash is so dangerous that flying through the dust particles has been described by a pilot as being ‘a bit like negotiating one’s way up a badger’s arse”.
Airline traffic in Britain and other parts of northern Europe is at a standstill because of ash and smoke spewing into the air from a volcano in Iceland.
The ash, which can damage a plane’s engine, has blown as far south as London, officials said, forcing airlines to cancel hundreds of flights in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia.

I didn’t know they held a Miss Earth Pageant!!!
The Miss Earth crown has become a symbol of unparalleled pulchritude and enduring advocacy through the years. To underscore and remind the Miss Earth titleholders the responsibilities that come with this crown, Carousel Productions commissioned the Official Jeweller of Miss Earth, Ms. Ramona Haar, an ecologically-minded artist, to design and craft a new Miss Earth crown. This radiant masterpiece that embodies a broader meaning of “beauties for a cause” was unveiled last November 16, 2009.
