Full Moon March 19, 2011
The full moon will be very close to Earth, the closest it’s been for years. The Moon goes perigee (closest to Earth) and apogee (farthest from Earth) once every month.
On March 19th, 2011 in the sign Virgo, the Moon will be the closest it has been in years and, for this reason is considered a “Super Moon”. What’s so special about this Super moon is that this time it is particularly close to the Earth.
The next Super Moon will occur on November 14, 2016 in the sign of Taurus. The last one was January 30, 2010 in the sign Leo.
Because the Moon influences the Earth’s atmosphere, the closer it gets the more it influences us.
The coming Super Moon (which is also known as a Full Worm Moon) will be so extreme (221,566 miles/355.665 kilometers away ) that a similar event hasn’t been seen since 1993 – it’s almost an Extreme Super Duper moon.
