On the one hand, Dr Tim O'Brien of the University of Manchester says that the dangers of the supermoon are overexaggerated, and that higher tides at a full moon aren't uncommon at all. On the other hand, you've got Dr Victor Gostin of Adelaide University, who says "there may be a link between large-scale earthquakes in places around the equator and new and full moon situations."



Supermoons in 1955, 1974, 1992 and 2005 all coincided with major disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis. So, what does this all mean? Are we facing some sort of perfect storm of climatological carnage, or is it going to just be a few more high tides? No one knows for sure.



One thing that's certain, though, is that if you have the chance to check out next week's full moon, it should be a real beauty, because it's going to be closer to the earth than we've seen since about 1992. Source: About.com Paganism / Wiccan
