that's what I've been thinking kay superfull moon xa dli bah kuyaw na naa ma create or bacn na tidal wave occurence kay sa pg differentiate sa tidal wave ug tsunami kay ang tidal wave kay mahitabo daw na kung naa'y mga natural occurence that relates to the sun, moon, ug unsa pa na diha. tsk..tsk..

Dont panic everyone... ug kung na man effect sa earth ang gravitational pull sa moon.. dili ra grabe and selected lang...

so relax... palayu lng mo sa misis o uyab nga naay red tide..
and..

get your cameras ready!

kanang mga ignorante or just out right stupid.
before you start buying salbabida or a boat or an ARK hehehe. why not drink a bottle of iodine first before you shoot your head.

READ AND UNDERSTAND.

"'Supermoon' is a situation when the moon is slightly closer to Earth in its orbit than on average, and this effect is most noticeable when it occurs at the same time as a full moon," Garvin wrote in the NASA statement. "So, the moon may seem bigger although the difference in its distance from Earth is only a few percent at such times."

The full moon of March will occur next Saturday on March 19, when the moon will be about 221,567 miles (356,577 kilometers) away from Earth. The average distance between the Earth and the moon is about 238.000 miles (382.900 km).

"It is called a supermoon because this is a very noticeable alignment that at first glance would seem to have an effect," Garvin explained. "The 'super' in supermoon is really just the appearance of being closer, but unless we were measuring the Earth-Moon distance by laser rangefinders (as we do to track the LRO [Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter] spacecraft in low lunar orbit and to watch the Earth-Moon distance over years), there is really no difference."

It was astrologer Richard Nolle who linked the full moon of March 19 to natural disasters. He claimed that this "supermoon" would trigger massive earthquakes, volcanoes and powerful storms when it arrived. But scientists assure that this is not the case. ['Supermoon' Did Not Cause Japan Earthquake and Tsunami]

Garvin, for example, said the moon's effects on Earth have been the subject of extensive studies.

"The effects on Earth from a supermoon are minor, and according to the most detailed studies by terrestrial seismologists and volcanologists, the combination of the moon being at its closest to Earth in its orbit, and being in its 'full moon' configuration (relative to the Earth and sun), should not affect the internal energy balance of the Earth since there are lunar tides every day," Garvin wrote.

But while the moon helps drive Earth's tides, it is not capable of triggering devastating earthquakes.

"The Earth has stored a tremendous amount of internal energy within its thin outer shell or crust, and the small differences in the tidal forces exerted by the moon (and sun) are not enough to fundamentally overcome the much larger forces within the planet due to convection (and other aspects of the internal energy balance that drives plate tectonics)," Garvin explained.

Nice Find... but.. better expand your imaginations..

Astrologer Richard Nolle (Astropro Interactive Multimedia REAL Astrology © 1996-2011 by Richard Nolle) coined the term "SuperMoon" in 1979 in his description of Hurricane David that hit the coast of South Carolina--about 8 or 9 *months* before it hit the coast, in fact. His definition is quite clear: "A SuperMoon is a perigee-syzygy, a new or full moon (syzygy) which occurs when the Moon is at 90% or greater of its mean closest approach to Earth (perigee)."

The SuperMoon on the 19th of March is considered an extreme SuperMoon because the Moon is at 100% greater or mean Perigee. The lead up to a SuperMoon is generally established at about 3 days before and 3 days after the New or Full Moon. The patterns of such events were noted in the arrival of Hurricane David, just as they have been noted many times before--including by such notables as Sir Isaac Newton, who wrote about the perigean tides in his _Principia_ in the late 1600s. This period is marked by meteorological and even geological changes; however, when you have tsunamis caused by earthquakes, I personally should think that a tsunami is the result of geological origins, not meteorological.

Newton, btw, noted that normal spring tides during an ordinary syzygy could result in tides of 10.5 feet. During a perigee syzygy, the tides can attain heights of 12.5 feet and more and, Newton noted, the effect is especially pronounced "when the wind sets the same way as the tide."

A research associate with the US National Ocean Survey, Fergus Wood, did an in-depth study of the perigean spring tides in 1978, The Strategic Role of Perigean Spring Tides, showing that these tides are among the heaviest weapons in nature's patterns of destruction. He developed this study based on 300 years of history on the coastal zones of North America.

The consistencies in these patterns are quite clear and may actually be one of the few times when you're seeing a solid agreement between astrologers, astronomers and geologists. So yes, extreme SuperMoons can cause dangerous weather effects, just as normal SuperMoons can.

that's the problem. richard noelle is an astrologer. what they publish in public is nothing more than theories. and predictions. he himself is very aware of that.

asa man ka mutoo. sa mga scientist or sa astrologer?
Astrologer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An astrologer practices one or more forms of astrology. Typically an astrologer draws a horoscope for the time of an event, such as a person's birth, and interprets celestial points and their placements at the time of the event to better understand someone, determine the auspiciousness of an undertaking's beginning, etc. However, the methods employed by astrologers are variable and depend on the particular astrological tradition they employ and the information desired.

LOL

nice art, man.. did your grandma do that.? lol

[tonioyantao]

thank you you're not so bad man diay

d man ko bad it just pains me to see other peoples naivety. and since you post your thread in the politics and current events board. facts "credible" are very important.
now, imagination is another story, if your thread is inteded solely for the sake of discussion i suggest you report this thread to the mods so they can transfer it to the general discussion board.
