Supermoon



On Yahoo News:"Will March 19 'Supermoon' Trigger Natural Disasters"

On March 19, the moon will swing around Earth more closely than it has in the past 18 years, lighting up the night sky from just 221,567 miles (356,577 kilometers) away. On top of that, it will be full. And one astrologer believes it could inflict massive damage on the planet. Richard Nolle, a noted astrologer who runs the website astropro.com, has famously termed the upcoming full moon at lunar perigee (the closest approach during its orbit) an "extreme supermoon."

Not much to say about this one, but when does "one astrologer," not astronomer (actual scientist) mind you,get to speak for the rest of them? And what does it say about this one astrologer, Richard Nolle, that the million other crackpots who believe in astrology don't support him? AND! Why does he get a news article? I want an article that says "English Teacher Believes Dynamic Earth Will Cause Natural Disasters." Fortunately, most other crackpots have all put their money on 2012, so they can't jump on the supermoon, soopermoon, or supermun bandwagon at the eleventh hour--yes, I'm talking about you Syntaxin.

  1. This is not mutually exclusive with 2012, and it may provide the impetus for the domino effect to begin. Having said that, who believes astrologers? I mean, really? You want someone trustworthy, check this:
