Do you think the Super Moon will do anything catastrophic?

 

[Darth Jerokii]

Probably not, but then again I'm chistian, so don't trust me.

 

[Bill M]

Super Moon is just a song by Zap Mama.

No. It's an overblown non-event. If they hadn't mentioned it, you wouldn't have noticed. You probably still won't notice.

Besides litter this site with days of nonsense?

Uh. This "super moon" happens every 18 years with no strong correlation or causal link to anything catastrophic. Expect high tide to be about 2" higher, than it was 9 years ago, if that.

 

[GeoffG]

No. The Moon is almost as close every 28 days, and this has no effect on anything.

 

[campbelp2002]

I never heard the term Super Moon before yesterday. What will they make up next? A full Moon that is also at perigee will cause slightly higher tides. But only slightly higher, so any effects will be pretty much the same as any other full Moon.

A plague of extra-powerful werewolves, maybe.

 

[William Donovan]

What or where is Super Moon.Never heard of it.

 

[Meklar]

No. It will barely be any closer than it gets every month anyway, there is no good reason to think we will see any major difference.
