SUPERMOON
On March 19th… You may be surprised by what you will see or have seen…
For the first time in 18 years, the moon will swing around Earth very closely, lighting up our skies from just 221,567 miles (356,577 kilometers) away! Not only will the moon be very close to Earth but it will be in full as well. IMAGINE A FULL MOON SO CLOSE TO EARTH!
The moon that orbits during this period is popularly known as the ‘Supermoon’. This name was given by a noted astrologer, Richard Nolle in 1979. Many scientists however, refer to the phenomena as a ‘lunar perigee’.
In short, during this period, the Earth, Moon and Sun are all in one line… with the moon in its nearest approach to Earth.
There is a debate going on between astrologers and scientists on whether or not the ‘Supermoon’ will bring chaos to Earth. According to many astrologers, the recent earthquake may be caused by the upcoming ‘Supermoon’.
It is interesting to take note that, although the moon wasn’t in full, during the previous ‘Supermoon’ encounters in the years 1955, 1974, 1992 and 2005… these years had their share of extreme weather and other natural events. One news article pointed out that the last ‘Supermoon’ occurred on January 10, 2005, around the time of the 9.0 Indonesia earthquake.
The question is, are these ‘Supermoon’ phenomena and natural events a coincidence? Hmmm… interesting.
Many scientists have refused to acknowledge the claims of ‘coincidence’. One scientific explanation to this is that the weather is caused by an incredibly complex interaction between the Earth’s rotations, the heat input from the sun and the way the oceans and seas absorb and radiate heat.
However, it is also said that if the Moon contributes in any way, it is very, very small compared to other major factors.
So did the earthquake in Japan happen because of the ‘Supermoon’… will there be more natural disasters when the Moon reaches its perigee? No one knows… but I guess we will find out on March 19th.

Imagine seeing the moon this size!
The distance between the two planets...that's not very far away at all
When the moon is at 406,357km away from Earth it is called by scientist as the Apogee, when it is as 356,790 it's called the Perigee... will we see the Perigee in 1 day's time??
This is very interesting. I have often read that certain Tantric meditational practices, chakras and ruels that we can wear to avert astrological influences. It appears that even in Buddhism, there is a belieft that the heavenly bodies above does influence us. Perhaps it is gravity, perhaps it is much more. I don’t know much on this matter.
Facinating stuff, but do you realize that there is a writen comennd on these things ? Writen between 2-3000years ago?
Anyhow keep me posted on your discoveries, I’ll be keeping a eye on your website regulary.
Nice website!
Please be well your eminence. Thank you for everything.
Is this event taking place on March 19 2012?
If it was 2011, then the episode of the Indonesian earthquake in 2005 could have repeated itself off the coast of Japan…
If it is 2012, well, it reminds me of the movie 2012…
This shows how inter-dependent we are, whether we want to see it or not, when the tsunami wave comes, there is nothing to stop it!
