Two Moons on 27 August! - YUP! HOAX!

UPDATED: Yup! It's a HOAX! Went to search on some astronomy sites and there's a whole string of explanation on why it's a hoax. So.. I won't go into details.

Not sure how true this is...but got it from a friend today.... But the problem is that we don't know the time indicated is for which time zone!!!

Two moons on 27 August
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 of 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.
