It was only last night that i was reading about a phenomenon called 'Super Moon' to be occuring soon - as early as the Full Moon next week (March 19th)
The sad part of this phenomenon is that it is linked to extreme weather events like Tsunami, volcanos or earthquakes. The last time this supermoon appeared was in January 2005 when Indonesia experienceced a killer earthquake that measured 9.0 on the Richter scale. Katrina, the hurricane was also associated with an unusually large full moon. Looking back, researchers say, previous supermoons occurred in 1955, 1974 and 1992 - in each of these years the earth experienced extreme weather conditions killing a multitude of people.
I did not believe this and only looked at the positive side of this spectacle as i wanted to see the beautiful moon, closest to earth in the last few decades.
As if to teach me a lesson, the earthquake and Tsunami in tokyo and pacific coasts this morning have devastated life and property of vast magnitude.
Without getting into any debate if this is a science or a superstition, i pray for welfare of all living and peace to the departed soul in this fury of Mother nature. Let 19th of March pass off as a normal day, known more for a spectacular moon in a clear sky.
