Now what's wrong here?
Ok, this was kinda wierd to me but here it goes...:
My little brother's science teacher said that on August 27 Mars would be the closest it was in 6000 years and it would be the size of a full moon. I was mainly skeptical at first and my initial opinion was confirmed while I was looking throught these forums and found a topic like this. So, I told my brother to tell the teacher that it was merely a rumor and the next day he told me "someone else told him it before I could, but he still said it would be quite close". Now this even further conflicted my brief research. I read that Mars is in fact on the other side of the sun at this time. I could accept this all from maybe a chain mail or spam... but here's the catch: He got this info in a science journal. I have no clue which one but I would think it wouldn't be something like Scientific American or anything like that, it was probably a little kid's journal with the intellogical equivalence of "Highlights" but how could any official journal get information off that much? Is my Scientific American getting articles from anonymous e-mails?! |
