For those that aren't up on astrology, and especially about our one moon;

The reason for this phenomenon as astrologers have known for a long time, is the 'moon throbs' that happen over cycles of thousands of years. The moon actually expands to double it's normal circumference - yet does NOT increase in mass whatsoever. The craters and surface are mostly dust, so that the malleable qualities enable it to act almost like rubber and no cracks or crevices occur. They say this can go on for about 4,000 years before it returns to a normal size, gradually. There's always a fear that it could eventually break up from this behavior, but only once the core has cooled so much that the magma solidifies. The sun ensures that the temperatures stay up though, so unless the sun shrinks - things will be okay.

Crap! They seem to have taken down that link - perhaps to avoid fear from people who may be panicking. Either that, or they found out more and are updating? Not sure

Are there any pubs in Haywards Heath showing it ?

Its going to appear around 14% bigger than usual tomorrow,

how's that, 14% is a massive difference. according to the guardian its 0.3%, pretty much unperceivable difference. i do recall there's a phenomenon where it looks large due to being lower to the horizon, so are sence of scale is distrorted.

Its what the bloke on 5-Live said when I was driving home the other evening.

If it really is a 0.3% difference, then its barely even worth mentioning is it ?!

Yes, eventually.

I thought astrology was all that Russell Grant stuff about the moon being in Uranus and so on.

Starting to creep into the sky now and its fuuuuucking hooj

 

[Colossal Squid]

Oh my f***ing christ it's HUGE.

I hadn't heard anything of this rare excitement and just noticed on my way home that the moon is jumbo sized. I was quite take aback by its enormity and witnessed several people out in the street taking pictures.

Glad to see I wasn't imagining it and NSC, as ever, had the answers.

There's a MASSIVE difference in how it looks at the moment from how it is normally and I urge anyone who hasn't had a good look to go outside now and check it out.
