Should be spectacular. Hope the skies behave.

Really large full moon March 19
- Thread starter Candlelight
- Start date
Read about this elsewhere and am also hoping for a nice clear sky on the 19th. Even driving home today, the moon was already up in the sky and I thought it seemed a bit larger than usual, though I may just be convincing myself.
The article I read about it also suggested that some people believe natural disasters are correlated with these supermoons (something about the extra gravitational pull affecting tectonic plates, and so forth). Seemed a bit of a stretch to me, but an intriguing thought especially in light of Japan. Any truth to it?
(yeah, I'm too lazy to look it up properly)

It's all superstitious nonsense, of course.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing this supermoon, even though it will split in half and release the Devil and his hordes.
Something to keep you admins busy, at least.
A New Zealand weather man predicted the Christchurch Earthquake with it.
He's predicted another one for this weekend with the supermoon.
I've heard that the entire West Coast of North America will be destroyed, assuming anything happens at all. A small circle of my friends is spreading the word and preparing their own personal go-bags with survival food, lighters, matches, and other necessities.
The answer is "no".
Yes, thanks, I'm aware of that.
Yeah, you really don't want to engage in an argument with Squiggy that involves a "big moon".
That's no moon. It's a space station.
You don't want to dock there, though.
No, the rough theory is the gravitational pull from the moon is enough to affect tectonic activity. Tsunamis will just be complimentary.

Ugh. Just when I thought I'd forgotten about that.
Moon's just risen and it looks... cloudy.
Looks like I'll have to wait another 20 years.

I'd say I was lucky it was a clear night in my area, and for the early part of the evening the moon was amazing, even from inside, but later, it was shining right through my window, so it took ages to get to sleep.
At about half 11 last night, I would have preferred very much for it to be cloudy.
Sorry for now probably making you jealous.
