It's a bird...it's a plane...No...It's SuperMoon!!

In the sky...tonight, Saturday, May 5th.  Could be interesting!............................................................

..........................................................................

..........................................................................

It's SuperMoon!  Happens about once a year, when the moon is at perigee...the time of it's CLOSEST proximity to Earth, as it orbits our planet.

And it's going to be BIG and it's going to be BRIGHT!  In fact, about 16% brighter than normal.

As an extra bonus...Ocean tides, both high AND low tides, will also be affected...up to 42% more force when compared to apogee (that point when the moon is FURTHEST from the Earth). 

So Heads Up!!

And watch out.

Sounds like there's a Bad Moon on the rise!

btw...I hate to admit it...but I use to think he was saying "there's a bathroom on the right"! Embarassed

    But no moon, huh.

    I don't know, but with all those kilts in Scotland...all it would take would be a good puff of wind...and you would see many moons!!Kiss

    No moon, huh.

    I would ask you if you have a sun in Scotland, but that would be silly.

    On second thought...well.....do ya???

    And I can't forget my all-time favorite song...

    (at the intro)

    I'm just a Pool Boy...I need no sympathy.

    AND later

    (after the Galileo part)

    I'm just a Pool Boy, nobody loves me.

    He's just a Pool Boy, from a Pool Family.

    See...to me..."I bless the rains down in Africa",  sounds like...

    "l left my brains down in Africa"!!

    "There's nothing that a hundred men on Mars could ever do!"

    I could never figure out "Olympus" in the line "As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti" in the song:

    And every Christmas, I always got strange looks...

    Especially during Hark the Herald Angels Sing...

    While others sang, "Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled"

    I always sang, ""Peace on earth and mercy mild, Goddamn sinners reconciled."

    I'm sorry...that's what it sounded like to me!!!

    Thanks Crazy.

    Now I don't feel so crazy!!

    "Pair of dice" makes way more sense than "paradise" in that song.
