Super Moon – Don’t Miss It!

Mark your calendar and don’t miss this – it’s going to be out of this world – snorts.

The term ‘Supermoon” was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle over 30 years ago.  A Supermoon is defined as:

“a new or full moon which occurs with the moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit”

The first Supermoon that we had this year was May 24-25, 2013.  There are usually about 4-6 Supermoons a year on the average.   There are actually three scheduled in row this year:

May 24-25; June 22-23; and July 21-22, 2013

Try to check it out if you get a chance.  I know I am.  I want to see what it looks like!  XOXO – Bacon

April 22, 2013 is EARTH DAY.  Every year, more than 1 billion people in 175 countries will participate in various Earth Day events on this date.  It is the largest civic observance in the world.  The purpose is to raise awareness about important environmental issues. 

The first Earth Day took place in 1970.  After witnessing the affects of an oil spill in Santa Barbara, California, US Senator Gaylord Nelson organized a grassroots environmental teach in on college campuses across the country.  Many people believe that this first Earth Day celebration marked the beginning of the modern environmental movement.

Celebrate today – plant a tree, help clean up a beach or park and/or participate in an event near you.  Help to keep this world a better place for everyone!
