Full Moon Full

On March 19 we will have a "SuperLuna" Full.

If we seek information on the Moon , whether in books (such as mark the times) through the network one of the basic things you will read that our planetary companion is about 384,000 miles away. .. but more rarely point out that not a real figure but just an average figure of reference. Because the reality is that the lunar orbit, far from being fully circular, is elliptical, which means it is time that is closer than others.

And not talking about small variations, for distances ranging from the 363,104 up to 405,696 miles .. enough to perceive, even with the naked eye, a significant change in the way it shines in the night sky. An example of this is we have this coming March 19 with the Full Moon exceptionally large and bright, appearing in the strong 14% higher and brighter than usual.

The (relative) proximity on the calendar with the earthquake in Japan and the coincidence of some natural disasters like the 2005 earthquake in Indonesia or flooding in Australia 1954, has re, how could it be otherwise, the idea that the "SuperLunas" could be associated with a greater chance that they occur, a very popular idea in circles unless, say, rational, like astrology, where the fact that, viewed globally, these destructive events (volcanoes , earthquakes, ect ..) show no relationship to the lunar cycles, there seems to be taken into account.

But the science is considered this as a very unlikely scenario, as explained by various experts in geophysics, as John Bellini, the Geological Survey U.S. (USGS) and John Vidale, a seismologist the University of Washington in Seattle.

" have been many studies on this phenomena by USGS scientists and others. They have not found anything important at all " says the first. "Practically speaking never notice any effect during the lunar perigee. This is between is too small to see any effect and has no effect " concludes the second. And is that a slightly higher tides seem to be the only manifestation of the astronomical event.

So next Saturday, weather permitting, it's time to enjoy, even just a time, a beautiful full moon.
