Every month I look forward to see the full moon. I’m always fascinated by it. How lovely and heavenly it looks lighting up the night sky. However, there is this one full moon that I am scared to come even if they say its an an amazing astronomical phenomena . The full moon this month is the closest to appear on the Earth’s surface so we will see a much bigger and brighter full moon ever, ergo the name supermoon/extreme full moon.
Some astrologist predict that this extreme super full moon will bring strong earthquakes and storms and/or unusual climate patterns. We obviously know that there are scientific laws that say the moon affects the Earth.
From personal experience I know that when the moon is full water levels are high and even the temperaments of people are kinda high as well, more people are impatient and some act in a weird manner.
“Coming up later this month (March 19 to be exact) the moon will make its closest approach to Earth (called lunar perigee) in 18 years. A new or full moon at 90% or greater of its closest perigee to Earth has been named a “SuperMoon” by astrologer Richard Nolle. This term has been recently picked up by astronomers. An extreme “SuperMoon” is when the moon is full or new as well as at its 100% greater mean perigee (closest) distance to earth. By this definition, last month’s full moon, this month’s and next month’s will all be extreme “SuperMoons”. Read more of this article here.
With the 8.1 earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan today, March 10,2011, and the tsunami warning spread all over the Pacific Ring today, I can say that this warning is true, scientifically.
