Internet Myth… Mars Comes Close To Earth On 9/27/09…

on August 27 2009 Mars is due to come as close to Earth as the Moon. Apparently the next time it will come this close will be in 2287 and the last time it did was over 5000 years ago. Astronomers have been quick to point out that this is completely untrue, and say that the closest thing to this spectacle actually came and went in 2003. This is a relief as other tale tellers say that if Mars were to come as close to the Earth as the Moon it would wreak havoc with the tidal pulls and we could end up with storms and tsunamis.
