The moon does have effects with tides and other things on the planet.
We know our magnetic shield around the planet is week.
We also know there could be some huge X sized solar flares from the sun that could wipe out parts of the planet with radiation.
Did I miss the astroids or anything else?
Just had a big one off east coast of Japan, tsunami washing cars, trucks, and boats on land. Check other new FR posts. Said from 8.4 to 8.9 strength, more aftershocks. Right after a new moon, just as I was saying. Tsunami warnings across the Pacific. Felt in Beijing.
