The Earths axis is shifting very slowly all the time By centimeters and millimeters. It takes several weeks of measurement taking to determine precisely how those shifts are far for the time several weeks ago.
This is scientist looking for their 15 minutes of fame or journalist who are looking for a headline...wait a few weeks for the real data and then we will know. Right now this is just hype.
The real situation is on the ground in Japan. Prayers up.
What does it mean for the earth’s axis to shift 10 inches? Will it mean bad weather or good weather or what?
Does it affect the way we see the moon at night, the shift?
Questions, questions, I got questions!
