what is so great about super moon?

Dr David Harland, space historian and author, said, "It's possible that the moon may be a kilometre or two closer to Earth than normal at a perigee, but it's an utterly insignificant event." but many people near my house are scared about the natural disasters that may take place,is this going to happen .and what is scientific reason behind it.

Complete nonsense. The moon has no significant effect on earthquake triggering. If the moon triggers "big" earthquakes, it would trigger the many of millions of times more "small" earthquakes that happen daily. There is no time dependence of those; hence no moon effect

<QUOTE>"It's possible that the moon may be a kilometre or two closer to Earth than normal at a perigee, </QUOTE>Actually, it's about 7 thousand kilometers. The average perigee is 363 thousand kilometers, this one's about 356 thousand kilometers.<QUOTE>many people near my house are scared about the natural disasters </QUOTE>Many people around your house didn't learn enough science when they were in school and are now vulnerable to anything remotely impressive or curious.Think about going to school for years on end and graduating from it barely knowing how to read. This is pretty much the state of scientific literacy among the general population.<QUOTE>what is so great about super moon?</QUOTE>Many people looking at the Moon on a single day, and forgetting about it after it. Because, after all, that "astorlegy" thing is too nerdy -- and God forbid someone being a nerd!
