The Super Moon phenomenon


Karachi: The world will see moon very close to earth today (Saturday) and 14 % bigger and brighter than usual. 

Although many people may not notice this but astronomers say that the moon will come within about 221,802 miles (357,000km) of Earth, which is about 15,300 miles closer than average.

The super moon will bring higher tides because of its closeness and its alignment with the sun and Earth.

Few people even think that Japan's tsunami was caused by super-moon, although  scientist call it is a simple myth but still this phenomenon can not be ruled out.
