Hey, about your “supermoon” post. First off, the 2005 tsunami was not caused by a “supermoon”. It was just a regular full moon, and we don’t see tsunamis and hurricanes every full moon. Also, you can’t say “around the same time” when you specified 2005. There are 12-13 full moons a year, and that wouldn’t be at all connected. Second, that article contradicts itself, by saying “closest approach in 20 years” and “last supermoon was in 2005.” And they’re like three sentences from each other. Third, keyword being “astrologers.” Astrology, be definition, is a pseudoscience, literally “fake-science” Though this does have slightly more science to support it (apparently one of them figured out the moon causes tides), it still isn’t much. Though it will be a little closer than usual, a law of physics called the inverse square law says that if you double the distance between two objects, the gravitational influence increases by four times. Considering it’ll be coming something like 10% or less closer than usual, that still isn’t much of an effect. The biggest reaction we might see is a bit higher tides than usual. I don’t mean to attack you, I just know that you have a whole lot of followers, and if they interpret that post as “THE MOON SHALT DESTROYIFY THE EARTH ON THE 19TH” they will tell people who will tell people who will tell people, and soon you have a lot of misinformed, terrified people in bunkers (Y2K?).
