Super Moon - March 19, 2011

Image
Full Moons vary in size because of the oval shape of the Moon's orbit. It is an ellipse with one side (perigee) about 50,000 km closer to Earth than the other, apogee. Nearby perigee moons are about 14% bigger and 30% brighter than lesser moons that occur on the apogee side of the Moon's orbit. A perigee full Moon brings with it extra-high "perigean tides," but this is nothing to worry about, according to NOAA. In most places, lunar gravity at perigee pulls tide waters only a few centimeters (an inch or so) higher than usual. Local geography can amplify the effect to about 15 centimeters (six inches)--not exactly a great flood. (Source: NASA)

Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)

And I would do anything for love, I'd run right into hell and back, I would do anything for love, I'll never lie to you and thats a fact. But I'll never forget the way you feel right now - Oh no - no way - I would do anything for love, But I wont do that, I wont do that, anything for love, I would do anything for love, I would do anything for love, But I wont do that, I wont do that. Some days it dont come easy, Some days it dont come hard Some days it dont come at all, And these are the days that never end. Some nights you breath fire, Some nights your carved in ice, Some nights your like nothing I've ever seen before, Or will again. Maybe Im crazy, But it's crazy and it's true, I know you can save me, No one else can save me now but you. As long as the planets are turning, As long as the stars are burning, As long as your dreams are coming true - You better believe it! - That I would do anything for love, And I'll be there until the final act - I would do ...
