time previously, we published a
story about “Two moons on
August 27,h.” It now appears,
thanks to some of our readers
who took the time to research
this, that this story was highly,
highly exaggerated.
We’re embarrassed and
sorry to say members of one
family stayed up until the wee
hours of the morning to view
what was supposedly the time
when the planet Mars would
appear as large as the full
our very inquisitive readers,
reliable info can be found on
the Chicago’s Adler
Planetarium website.
If you were out late or up
early, the night of August 27
and early morning hours of
moon to the naked eye.
In reality, Mars will only
appear as a very, large, bright August 28, you did get to see
star, but far from being as an unusual and seldom seen
large as the moon! event in the sky. There was a
Interestingly, one of our beautiful lunar eclipse. Hope
readers said he received this you saw it, but if you didn’t,
same e-mail a year ago, you have another chance in
claiming the same February 2008. But, one thing
preposterous upcoming dVeflt we know for sure, Mars did
when Mars would look as big not appear as big as the
as the Moon. This e-mail has Moon, but it was a very bright
been circulating since 2003! star in the sky.
According to another one of Yes, we were duped, and it
probably won’t be the last
time. And no doubt someone
out there is getting a big laugh
and has been laughing since
2003!
September 15 is the
deadline for us to get our
family histories in to Fredda
Jones or Missy Jones. If you
don’t have your info in by that
date, your family will not be
included in the Comanche
County History Book. That
would be a shame!
You can email your story and
photos to Fredda at
daio2@comanchetx .com or
mail it to Comanche County
