In d super moon,d moon comes nearest to the earth n as the moon comes too nearer to the earth the moon appear than the real size of it,its a usual process, n due to nearest position of the moon the tides caused by the moon increases it can b mentioned as d rise n fall in the tides of the sea n ocean increases due to more activity of the moon on the sea,it doesnt causes any catastrophe but it is best that v see d moon 12%larger than d earlier one.

On March 19th a “Supermoon” will occur. The window for this is March 16th – 22nd.Found a great article here. Take a look. Ignore the beware part of the title.

It is supposed to occur on March 19th.During this time, the moon will swing around the Earth more closely than it has in the past 18 years, lighting up the night sky from just 221,567 miles (356,577 kilo meters) away.On top of that, it will be a full moon. So, it has been termed as an "Extreme Super moon".Although there is a widespread debate about the disastrous consequences of this occurrence, a majority of the scientists believe that this would only cause a tiny change in the moon's gravitational influence on Earth.

19th March. But this is another one of those media stories which tries to make a big deal out of nothing in particular. The Moon isn't going to magically appear much larger in the sky on a particular day. It is close to the Earth once a month. There is also a full moon once a month. Once a year, these dates roughly coincide. The minimum distance is not quite the same each year. It varies by a small amount. This year it's all of 15 km less than last year.I would defy anyone to look at the Moon and tell me whether it's at its nearest or farthest from the Earth - a possible distance variation of 40,000 km. If 40,000 km isn't noticeable, what difference do you think 15 km will make?This is a non-story and the Moon will look no different.

2012's Supermoon will be occurring just before Midnight Saturday May 5th Easter Standard Time. That is when it will be at it's perigee.

Looks great out there right now! Moon still looks full to me. And, it's still closer than a normal moon so as far as I'm concerned, it's still in supermoon stage. :)
