If there is a super moon taking place.?

There is supposed to be a "Super Moon" taking place on 3/18/11 if so where will it take place? And what are the effects of one. I hope it does not take place in Japan, they've taken enough damage for the time being.

The "Super Moon" is an astrological term, not an astronomical one. It means that the lunar perigee occurs at the same time as the Full Moon, and is supposed to have tremendous astrological importance. However, astronomically, it's just a fairly uncommon event that means nothing special.

There are no effects at all. The Moon will not appear any different. It won't cause any problems on Earth. It's just a little closer than normal to the Earth, and that includes all parts of the Earth.

no its just the same has any other full moon,.)

Funny, isn't it, how that 'super moon' catastrophe idea was proposed by an astrologer, whose trade is based upon the false premise that the stars and planets act upon us to control our fates through mysterious forces, and had absolute zero backing from real scientists.Also, the Moon was nowhere near perigee during the quake in Japan. Actually, it was further away than average, since the Moon hit apogee on March 6.
