Blog # 7

If anyone looked outside their window on the evening of March 19, then they would have been able to see a “Supermoon”.

A supermoon is when a full or new moon coincides with when it is closest to the Earth.  The result of this is that the moon appears much larger than it normally does.  This is something that has not occurred since 1993, eighteen years ago.  Many have speculated that supermoons are responsible for natural disasters, as the moon's gravity is responsible for the creation of tides and especially in the light of the recent tsunami in Japan, and while some will agree with this, many experts stress that this is definitely not the case.  The closeness of the moon will, however, cause a dramatically large range of high and low tides.    

If you want to know my theory on supermoons: people born in the light of a supermoon will be born with super powers.
