Crazy bullshit

There will be a rare "two-moon night" on 29 September 2026, when a second moon shares the sky with ours.

Spread on: Facebook pages, late September 2026

The real story

The posts were about asteroid 2025 PN7, a 'quasi-moon' whose path around the Sun closely matches Earth's. It is far too faint to see with the naked eye, binoculars or even amateur telescopes. There was nothing extra to look at that night.

The fact-checker's verdict: “False”. Our label never goes further than theirs.

How to spot it

If a 'rare sky event' isn't mentioned by space agencies or astronomy societies, it is probably invisible or not happening.
