I just read this info first from Earth Rullan, she posted in the social networks about the extreme full of the moon this coming March 19, 2011, and it was also called Super moon.
What is a Super moon?
"A SuperMoon is a perigee-syzygy, a new or full moon (syzygy) which occurs when the Moon is at 90% or greater of its mean closest approach to Earth (perigee)" - Richard Nolle, said.
and here's an interesting part that says that the upcoming Super moon is now affecting our planet Earth's behavior.
"I have read several "new age" forecasts that go something like this: "Extreme SuperMoon this month (March 2011) will bring strong earthquakes and storms and/or unusual climate patterns." Google the term 'extreme SuperMoon March 2011' and see for yourself what comes up. The validity of these types of forecasts can be debated ad nauseum.
There were SuperMoons in 1955, 1974, 1992 and 2005. These years had their share of extreme weather and other natural events. Is the Super Moon and these natural occurrences a coincidence? Some would say yes; some would say no. I'm not here to pick sides and say I'm a believer or non-believer in subjects like this, but as a scientist I know enough to ask questions and try to find answers." - source
They say that the earthquakes, storms, volcano eruptions and the recent disaster in Japan was related to the coming Super moon, and there will be more on between March 17-19. I know that the full moon's gravity force affects our Earth and sea, but I hope that the Super moon won't bring more disaster, we know that there's no proof yet about it, but let's see what will happen on March 19.
I'm gearing up to take another photo shot of this Super moon event, been having dreams when I was a kid that Venus and Moon are so close to the Earth and after 20 years, the moon will be close to us and its time to enjoy the beauty of the full moon and observe after it.
Photo above was taken last December 2010, a day after the Partial lunar eclipse. I'm now interested what will be our astro blogger friends will say about this - hello Journey to the stars and The Sky above!
