the moon’s distance from the earth is varying due to its elliptical orbit. the “super moon” is observed when a full moon occurs at its closest approach to the earth. every year there are 4-5 super moons, and quite a few of them have been associated with natural disasters, catastrophes, social uprisings, birth of quintuples

the full moon on may 6, 2012 was the most powerful in years, and it occurred exactly 100 years after the wreck of the titanic. next day record in memphis:

- in the audobon park where our secretary was jogging her car window was broken and several items like her cell phone and gps was stolen from the car;
- the old chairman of the department fall on the doorway and broke his nose;
- a colleague of mine was preparing to drive his family to the airport when a huge tree in front of their house fell down and hit their car...

quite enough to support the theory of non-accidental coincidences...
- coincidentally dedicated to a dancing dolphin and a storming fish :/)

fascinating we watched the super moon rise here in Los Angeles. my 3 year old daughter was definitely a little (extra) kookoo that day. we play close attention to the moons cycle in our household and try to be outdoors during full moons as much as possible. the pull and power is very real for me. the music here is so melancholy and ambient. fitting. your photograph feels alien and the super moon looks otherworldly when composed with the signs and that starburst of a light. excellent post. rmjannette · 2012-05-08: 01:17

...the phenomenon at the time on eastern Hungary longitude cca. 24 and 1/2 degree wide area (about 100 km.) made ​​parallel meow... :) xabolcs · 2012-05-08: 01:20

What an honor to have your super moon dedicated to the dolphin that dances within... and who better to share it with than my good friend the stormy fish! 8^) in Laguna Beach: - a dolphin drank tea for the first time from a replica Titanic third class passenger mug bought at the Titanic exhibit in San Diego, and now enjoys your music selection. Apparently not all non-accidental coincidences are unpleasant. DancingDolphin · 2012-05-08: 01:40

ROFL!! awww, waij geschrieen - the world will break down in 2012 anyway, according to the wretched majan calendar which ends in december, and now this super moon horror has befallen upon us! and you dedicate this to ME and poor jacki... i'm not flattered, my man, i'm NOT flattered at all! ;-) btw, the difference between apogee and perigee is around 50'000 km. the moon still is over 350'000 km away from earth at minimum. it won't fall from the sky, it doesn't drag super waves out of the ocean, it doesn't make babies plop out of their mothers wombs and it definitely doesn't make the dolphins jump higher or the fish being stormier. it's just 14% prettier. :-) stormfish · 2012-05-08: 04:55

p.s. what REALLY pops my eyes i the U.F.O. you caught in the left lower corner of your pic. coincidence, THAT?!? i think not! ;-) stormfish · 2012-05-08: 04:56

I watched that full moon, it was very beautiful. Amazing that we still see the same moon while being in quite different parts of the globe Nychthemeron · 2012-05-08: 15:15
