EXAMPLES: SUPERMOON, TRIPLE ECLIPSE.

Sorry If I'm not being clear enough. But I would like to know what are some phenomenons related to space.. or supernatural stuff.. Like things that are you always hear like 2012 or something...

Again, astronomy, not astrology. Also, none of those things had any significance to actual astronomers. Supernatural stuff isn't science; it's usually nonsense. 2012 certainly is nonsense.

March's super-moon and the triple eclipse are both astronomical phenomenon. Yes, there are astrological aspects of both phenomena, but I have no idea what they are. It would really help us if we knew approximately how old you are. It's up to you whether you tell us how old you are or not, but you might have to read through a lot of stuff you may already know.



OK. Now for some not so basic astronomy:



When the Moon is closest to Earth in its orbit it is at perigee. When the Moon is farthest away from the Earth the moon is at apogee.



Do you know what the ecliptic is? As the Earth goes around the sun in its orbit, Earth has a slightly elliptical orbit; Elliptical means Earth's orbit is not quite circular. Earth's orbit defines a mathematical plane that astronomers call the ecliptic. From Earth, the Sun looks like it goes through all the constellations of the zodiac in one yea,r because the ecliptic defines which constellations are in the zodiac.



The plane of the Moon's orbit is tilted at 5.21 degrees to the ecliptic. . Lunar nodes are the points defined by where the plane of the Moon's orbit intersects the ecliptic plane. These points are called apsides. The apsides make one "orbit" around the Earth approximately every 18 years, 11 days, and * hours. This is known as a saros cycle.



Eclipses happen ONLY when the Moon is at or close to one of the apside points around new and full Moon. Eclipse cycles repeat according to saros cycle. Most of the time the Moon is either above or below the ecliptic plane at new and full Moon. That's why eclipses don't occur every month. For an eclipse to happen. The Earth, Moon, and Sun have to be approximately in the same plane. A triple eclipse happens when either there are two lunar and one solar eclipse or two solar eclipses and one lunar eclipse relatively close together in time within one year. This happened in 2009 when there were two lunar eclipses and one solar eclipse close together.



Last month's so-called super-moon happened because the moon was full at the closest perigee to the Earth since the last super-moon on March 8, 1993. Super-moons do not occur every month when the moon is close to perigee at full or new moon like some astrologers may claim.



Astrologers often take real astronomical phenomena and then attach all kinds of supposedly significant meanings and implications to those phenomena.



2012 is a hoax.

'Astrology' - is nonsensical. The lingo used about 'supermoon' - junk. This answers area is for SCIENCE..! Astronomy is science. And science is about truth. Not dark age garbage.



The 'astrology' junk is from the ignorant age. Just like we are being dragged back into. A 'new' dark age.. dumbed down America.. by the scumbag media. The statement: 'The pen is mightier than the sword' - very true.

It's funny but I've heard about quite a few of these things over the years. Edgar Cayce (the sleeping prophet) warned about a pole shift years ago, I can't remember the date he set. But how can anyone predict with any certainty that these things will happen in 2012? Of course maybe they will all happen in 2012 at the same time. Wow! What a *****! Maybe December of 2011 would be a good time to go off our diets and run up them credit cards! Do I believe it? Anythings possible!! Thanks for all the info!
