The Moon To Grow In Size Tomorrow..12.12.08.

Post by beer monkey » December 11, 2008, 4:54 pm

The Moon to appear massive in size tomorrow night

Astrological expert reveal today that tomorrow (December 12) the Moon will be positioned at the closest range to the Earth, leading this natural satellite to appear larger in size than normal.

Mr. Nipon Saipetch, a royally awarded astrologist from the Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology, disclosed today that the Moon will be located in the closest distance to the Earth tomorrow night, causing its appearance to be unusually massive in size. Therefore, he urged all people in the nation to witness this natural phenomenon together tomorrow night.

Mr. Nipon further asserted that fishermen have been using the Moon for navigation purposes, as the Moon-Earth distance would help determine the level of gravitational tidal force and sea level

Maybe if you stand on a box you can get closer and a better picture and it will look closer..........Dont stand on 2 boxs as you might fall over or the moon might be to close to use your camera.
