Hey. 27/08/2016 Mars closer to Earth and it will look like two moons? I do not think so. Mars will not be as shining as the moon, which means, on 27 August two moons - a small point (Mars) on a background of the moon, as the brightness of the red planet will be 10 thousand less brightness of the full Moon.
We know that every two years, Mars reaches the point of the orbit, which is called the "confrontation." This means that the Red Planet is opposite the Sun, as viewed from Earth, Mars is opposed to the sun. And this event always brings an unprecedented boom. Therefore, the two moons in the sky 27 August 2016 eager to see millions of people around the world. Average confrontation, that is, Mars will approach Earth at a distance of about 60 million kilometers (usually a distance of more than 100 million kilometers), there are still great confrontation - the following will happen in 2018 and then Mars is closer to 57 million kilometers.
So, we will see not two moons and a point on the moon. Wait for me :) photo report!

"...always brings an unprecedented boom."? What do you mean by "boom"? Lots of interest? And note: "always brings" and "unprecedented" contradict.
