Okay, I got bored and jumped to the end, lol, but the video helped me to realize that sometimes the moon is closer during a full moon and sometimes it isn't! That could explain some discrepancies/cycles we've discussed on our other thread. :)

Yup, nature does enjoy messing with our perceptions now and again.
Just about everything has a wobble and elliptical seems to rule.
Nothing can be simple :)

Thanks for the pings! I intend to ping the APoD list, but I’m trying out this new (alleged) broadband, it’s wireless, cheap, prepaid, and most importantly available here in The Boonies. Took three frickin’ hours to get it set up. Drops / fails to load pages, but I think that has more to do with the five long d/ls running in the background, browser updates and such. Anyway, to make a short story long, the lists are on the other machine. ;’)

Back on topic, the Moon’s apogee-perigee is about a 5% variance, iow, it’s about 13,000 miles different.

Hey bud...

I have reviewed the North East quakes over the past months and now with yesterdays at the mouth of the St.Lawrence I think it’s safe to say something bigger than a 6 is going to occur up there with the next few months...

Amazing stuff really. There is buckling going on at various depths. The large quakes that did occur both on land and off shore have not had any aftershocks either.

Something to keep an eye on for sure....!
