APOCALYPTIC SUPER-MOON? Yesterday The Daily Express warned its readers that last nights super-moon may bring about the destruction of mankind and the start of the Apocalypse. However, life appears to be carrying on as normal. Unless you want to evoke a matrix style theory that it has happened but we are all been kept in a digital reality. As I write this on the internet, Im beginning to wonder if the Matrx- conspiracy-doom-mongers have a point. Anyway here are some facts about the super-moon. The astronomical term is Perigee Moon, meaning closest to earth. Last night the moon was only 221,765 miles away the nearest it has been for 20yrs. It will appear 14% bigger and 30% brighter than usual causing exceptionally high tides. This coupled with ex-hurricane Bertha has lead to some coastal flooding. Other dates this year for Perigee spotting are Sept 9th.
