years to cancel the series "Two and a Half Men" for the rest of the season THANKS A YAHOO
It's been several days since the earthquake and tsunami off the coast of Japan. Since then there have been on the net all sorts of explanations Conspiranoids senseless and confusion filled the already difficult news that are coming from that country.
ranging from erroneous interpretations attributed the disaster to the HAARP experiments, to say that is a preview of what awaits us in 2012. And among all this welter of meaningless data, stresses the emergence of a really crazy theory
: the moon is the culprit.
Javier Peláez
Next Saturday March 19 we will be lucky to see a beautiful view of the full moon, since it will be
, a position that is known as perigee
and that in an elliptical orbit, is defined as the closest point between two points .
Apogee and perigee of the Moon
Obviously, this theory is false . Firstly because, as we see, the perigee will be held on March 19 and the earthquake in Japan took place on Friday March 11, eight days before that hypothesis. At that time, moreover, the moon was closer to the peak in its orbit Earth, ie was in the farthest point.
is also true that this approach of the moon on the 19th will be the closest perigee to Earth in the past 18 years. From January 2005 until today, there have been four perigees on the Moon has been less than 357,000 miles, so, is a fairly common phenomenon that does not have the catastrophic consequences that some claim. Still, this idea has become so widespread that many astronomers and physicists have had to come to the fore to deny it , to put some factual information to all these charlatans who are beginning to appear whenever natural disasters occur.
To be well informed, I recommend you to take a look at the articles they have published physics professor Arturo Quirantes
and journalist Luis Alfonso Gámez
. Sure you will have a much better sense of the moon on Saturday.
