A SUPERMOON
Did you see that moon last night?
Accordng to the telegraph:
Accordng to the telegraph:
the most
spectacular super moon since 1948 will light up the sky, appearing 14 per cent
bigger and 30 per cent brighter than usual.
The event on Monday November 14 - described as
"undeniably beautiful" by American space agency NASA - is the result
of the moon coming closer to Earth than it has done for 69 years. Nothing will
match it until the moon makes a similar approach on November 25 2034.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac
Says:
Why is the November 2016 Moon the most
interesting of the year—and perhaps the decade and even
the century?
·
First, it’s
a “Perigee” Moon—when the Moon reaches the point in its orbit that is
nearest to Earth.
·
Even better, this Moon
will be nearer to Earth than it’s been in 70 years. While the
Moon won’t technically be getting any bigger, it will appear up
to 14% larger than when it is at its furthest point.
·
Further, the full
Moon of November 14 is not only the closest full Moon of 2016 but also the closest
full Moon in the 21st century and it won’t come this close to Earth
again until November 25, 2034. Besides appearing large and bright in the
sky, this extra-close Perigee Moon (or, Supermoon) will also have a more dramatic
effect on the tides.
Here at Ageless with Aunty, I say, this super
sensational and utterly beautiful moon is simply Aunty lighting up the night
sky. For those new to Ageless with Aunty, by all accounts she was the
happiest and most loving person you can imagine. She has been my sole
inspiration. This week, November 18th, is the five year anniversary
of Aunty’s passing, and, she had a deep affinity for the moon. Aunty was
mesmerized by the moon. She was connected to its force. And, all her life she glowed as big and bright as
the moon itself.
I am always and eternally connected to
her, but even more so when I look up at the moon with awe exactly like we always
did while she held my hand. I certainly feel that as the moon on this magic
night reaches closest to the earth, it’s really and truly Aunty reaching closer
to me. She wants to be as close as she can to all of us who loved her. So put
your Farmer’s Almanac away, and get out and catch a glimpse of Radiant Aunty’s
love from above. I always knew her love was bigger than the universe! And, even
five years after her passing she continues to find ways to speak to me. It’s
just like she promised, “forever, and ever, and ever…amen.”
