On March 19 2011, our moon will be closest to Earth that it’s been in the passed 18 years. Technically termed a “lunar perigee”, it’s when a full or new moon at 100% of it’s mean perigee. The term “super moon” was coined by astrologist Richard Nolle and has now been picked up as the acceptable term throughout other astronomers.

Moons have been known throughout time to have some sort of power, whether it be mystical or related to Earth’s system. Could this extreme super moon cause some sort of natural shaking or disaster? Some scientists predict that it’s possible that there could be strong weather patterns with the possibility of things such as earthquakes or other types of extreme weather.

The moon is well known to effect certain parts of our world such as tides and other abnormal behaviors – Could this super moon in March have some kind of effect on us?

Other scientists do note that right around the time of the 9.0 earthquake in Indonesia, that occurred on January 2005, there was a new moon classified as a super moon. Could this moon have something to do with the massive earthquake?

Whatever the case may be, the moon definitely plays a part on our planet. I wonder if December 21, 2012 will see a super moon
