Yay!

http://news.yahoo.com/supermoon-may-outshine-meteor-shower-weekend-201132286.html People keep telling me it already happened. o_0 this article is from yesterday. Which is Wednesday.

The moon will be at it's closest to Earth (about 22,000 miles) AND be a full moon on Saturday, around midnight. It's perfect for my plans! 😃 I can imagine me on my back porch, in the pitch black nightime holding-- O-O *cough* uh, a... telescope! yeah. that was a nice save.


EDIT: O-O I posted that last sentence.

As awesome as it is (and it is awesome 😊), its also horrible for trying to see any of the meteor shower that also takes place this weekend. >.<

@univea Q-Q no meteor shower... T_T

univea • 3 May 2012 at 5:59 PM

@orderchaos I know... I'm a little disappointed about that too.

I'm excited about the moon, I love the moon. 😊
But I didn't know there was going to be a meteor shower... O.O

@morgana I first found out about the meteors, then the moon like "YAY! Aw... but still YAY!" XD

morgana • 3 May 2012 at 6:16 PM

@univea I just had the same reaction. Just switch the meteor and moon around. 😋

There was supposed to be a big meteor shower on April 22 here, but it was cloudy that night :'( I didn't know that about the moon, though.

@univea
😱 Cool!
Now, hopefully I'll remember this to look at the night sky on Saturday and hopefully it will be a night clearof clouds 😊

Hey, well; If I could pick betwen a full moon and a meteor shower, I'd pick the moon. X3 I love the full moon.

@Univea HAHA. Same here. Perfect for my plans. 😈 But... What else would you be holding?! O-o

univea • 3 May 2012 at 6:26 PM

@dreamer ...uh, ok not a telescope. I'll tell you that.

dreamer • 3 May 2012 at 6:26 PM

@Univea I think we both know where this is going. X3

univea • 3 May 2012 at 6:27 PM

@dreamer O-O I might say you don't... XD What the heck are you thinking? (I wanna hear this. I don't think it's what you think. XD)

univea • 3 May 2012 at 6:31 PM

univea • 3 May 2012 at 6:35 PM

@dawnfur We all are. XD but seriously.You guys are never gonna get this. X3 Think about... the occasion?

cotton • 3 May 2012 at 6:36 PM

This happened already this year, but I guess it's going to happen again 😊

Deleted • 3 May 2012 at 6:36 PM

@Univea THAT MAKES ME THINK WHAT I'M THINKING EVEN MORE. X]

dreamer • 3 May 2012 at 6:37 PM

@Univea O-o
@Dawnfur o-O

univea • 3 May 2012 at 6:37 PM

@dawnfur Please don't tell me then. XD
I'm pretty sure what you're thinking has nothing to do with it. X3

Deleted • 3 May 2012 at 6:38 PM

@Univea OK. X3
@Dreamer Hm... I think you saw my reply to the PM. xDDD

Orderedchaos • 3 May 2012 at 6:44 PM

@cotton There can be more than one supermoon in a year. The moon reaches the perigee point once every cycle around the earth. So it is entirely possible for the fullmoon to happen at the same time as perigee multiple times a year.
