Supermoon. Is it just an extra large full moon or some 'super power' full moon?

Supermoon


Tomorrow will be the day of the supermoon. It's a term people use to describe a full moon being very close to Earth. Since the moon will be very close, majority of the people assume that it would have some serious effect on us human and Earth. Catastrophic earthquakes followed by giant tsunamis, or some unexplained series of thunderstorms. Overall, the effects on Earth will have something to do with the climates. As for us humans, the effects are quite extreme in some cases. I've heard people saying that spending too much time under the direct moon light of the supermoon will have disastrous effect of us. No, we would no transform into werewolf though that would be cool. They say it would mess with our mind and all. Couldn't really follow what they were saying since they were adding some so-called 'history' and 'past encounters'. Some people even when to the extent of linking the recent earthquake and tsunami at Japan as an direct or indirect (some people wants to be in the safe side in case someone proofs them wrong) effects of the supermoon. But some guy from the American Space related government agency comes out saying that bullsh*t. It seems the moon was at its furthers position from Earth during the earthquake. Logic, nearer moon has stronger gravity pull than the further moon. Stronger gravity pull means stronger supermoon effect. So, the earthquake in Sendai is coincidence with incoming supermoon. But, if we took a look at the past supermoon, (this I found on some article online) the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami came two weeks before the January 10, 2005 supermoon. Coincidence again? Maybe. But again, during the earthquake, the moon was at its further position. Weird huh? What ever it is, let's see what happens tonight. Hope we don't have werewolves or vampires coming out partying.
If you wanna read bout this supermoon, I found this site saying something bout it. Has some cool facts.
