March full moon is 2nd-closest of 2020’s 3 full supermoons

-

The moon will look full to the eye on both March 8 and March 9, 2020. The crest of the full moon falls on March 9 at 17:48 UTC (1:48 p.m. Eastern; 12:48 p.m. Central; translate UTC to your time). In North America, we call the March full moon the Worm Moon, Crow Moon or Sap Moon. This 2020 March full moon presents the first of three straight full moon supermoons. Overall, the full moon of March 9 is 2020’s second-closest full moon.
Here are the distances (as measured between the centers of the moon and Earth) for the three upcoming full moon supermoons:
Full moon on March 9, 2020: 222,081 miles or 357,404 km
Full moon on April 8, 2020: 221,851 miles or 357,034 km
Full moon on May 7, 2020: 224,429 miles or 361,184 km
In contrast, the smallest and most distant full moon of the year will fall on October 31, 2020, at a distance of 252,380 miles or 406,166 km. Because this October 31st full moon counts as the second of two October 2020 full moons, some will call it a Blue Moon.

Eliot Herman in Tucson also compared the June full moon with the November 2016 supermoon. He wrote: “A comparison of the closest supermoon since 1948 on November 14, 2016, with farthest mini-moon on June 9, 2017. Both images captured with a Questar telescope and a Nikon D800 camera. The images were combined with Photoshop.”
In North and South America, the moon will turn full during the daylight hours on March 9, when the moon is beneath the horizon. All full moons are opposite the sun, and any moon at the vicinity of full moon looks more or less full for a couple of nights. So watch for a bright full-looking moon to light up the night sky from dusk until dawn on both March 8 and 9.
Visit Sunrise Sunset Calendars to find out when the moon turns full in your time zone. Be sure to check the moon phase box.
This is also the closest full moon to the March equinox, which falls on March 19 or 20, 2020, depending on your time zone. It’s the spring equinox for us in the Northern Hemisphere, but the autumn equinox south of the equator. Thus, for the Southern Hemisphere, this March full moon is the Harvest Moon, famous for ushering in a succession of moonlit nights in a season of waning daylight.
Any full moon rises at or around sunset, and rises an average of 50 minutes later with each passing day. Around the time of the Harvest Moon, the lag time between successive moonrises is reduced to a yearly minimum. For instance, at and around 40 degrees south latitude, the moon is now rising some 30 to 35 minutes (instead of 50 minutes) later daily for the next several days.
Meanwhile, in the Northern Hemisphere, this March full moon is the closest full moon to the spring equinox. Hence, the lag time between successive moonrises reaches a yearly maximum with any near-spring equinox full moon. For instance, at 40 degrees north latitude, the moon is now rising some 75 minutes (rather than 50 minutes) later daily.
The converse holds true for moonset. The moon – on the average – sets some 50 minutes later daily. At present, however, the lag time between successive moonsets is at maximum for the Southern Hemisphere, yet at a minimum in the Northern Hemisphere. At 40 degrees south latitude, the moon now sets around 75 minutes (instead of 50 minutes) later daily; whereas at 40 degrees north latitude, the moon now sets some 30 to 35 minutes (not 50 minutes) later.
Before theadvent of artificial lighting, our ancestors must have been well aware of these seasonal vagaries of the wayward moon.

Bottom line: The whole globe enjoys a full-looking moon on March 8 and 9, 2020. The exact time of full moon falls during the day on March 9 for clocks in the Americas. It’s the first supermoon of 2020 and second-closest full moon this year. No matter where you live worldwide, watch for the full moon from dusk until dawn.

4 African Kings Who Ruled India That Have Been Erased From History

“…The darkest man is here the most highly esteemed and considered better than the others who are not so dark. Let me add that in very truth these people portray and depict their gods and their idols black and their devils white as snow. For they say that God and all the saints are black and the devils are all white. That is why they portray them as I have described.” – Marco Polo,after visiting the Pandyan Kingdom in 1288 More than a thousand years before the foundations of Greece and Rome, proud and industrious Black men and women known as the Dravidian erected a powerful civilization in the Indus Valley. From those origins, African Kings in India drove the region’s commerce, culture, and belief systems. Dr. Clyde Winters, author of Afrocentrism: Myth or Science? writes: “Ethiopians have had very intimate relations with Indians. In fact, in antiquity the Ethiopians ruled much of India. These Ethiopians were called the Naga. It was the Naga who created Sanskrit. ...

The Vatican Removed 14 Books From the Bible In 1684 With No Real Explanation

-
Image
Typically when the Bible is brought up in conversation, what comes to mind is a source of truth that has not been tampered with. However, when this book was originally published it contained 80 books and current editions only have 66, and we have to wonder what exact purpose the removal of 14 books would serve? The Vatican Church or Roman catholic church has been associated with deception for ages. Their atrocities have ranged from  genocide  many centuries ago against the Cathars to  child molestation  is more recent years. The Bible was originally translated from Latin into English in 1611. This “original” Bible contained 80 books, including the Apocrypha, which means hidden. These  Apocrypha books made up the end of the Old Testament, and included the following books: • 1 Esdras • 2 Esdras • Tobit • Judith • The rest of Esther • The Wisdom of Solomon • Ecclesiasticus • Baruch with the epistle Jeremiah • The Songs of the...

Astrology And The Cosmic Parental Connection

The following was written by Digansela Ubuntu. Born DeAndre Fears, Digansela Ubuntu is an Alumni of Hume-Fogg Academic, and is currently a University of Memphis student of Geography. His strong Baptist Christian background and passion for the culture of our melanin-rich people leads his never-ending quest to make the truth known to masses. Let me start by asking this question: When is the last time you have considered astrology? Most people would disregard the study, as they usually think only of horoscopes and many find horoscopes silly. But, astrology? Is there a difference between astrology and horoscopes? Astrology is the study of the stars and their vastly unexplored effect of phenomena and events in the human world. Learning about the stars actually helps we better understand ourselves. Think of the Principle Law of Correspondence which states, “as above, so below.” Following this method, as we continue to seek knowledge about the vastness of space, we, indeed, should ...

The Matrix. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain but you feel it. You felt it your entire life.

The Hell Of Humanity: Your Immortal Soul Is Trapped In A Low-Vibratory Holographic Illusion We Call The Material World And The Human Body

-
Image
Being a multidimensional immortal soul repeating a temporary, encapsulating, and illusionary “material” experience is Hell. In it’s proper context, the “Lucifer” that fell from heaven is the illuminated soul of the Original man falling from the high-vibratory circumstance of the spiritual/astral/mental realm into a crystalized material circumstance as a human. Heaven is the mental circumstance. Hell is the “physical” circumstance. It has been suggested by even the earliest civilizations whom studied occult sciences that becoming a human is not necessarily a “blessing”, but rather a wretched and repetitious condition that must be overcame and conquered. This means that we are alive to achieve a particular transformation of our own soul that would allow us keep up with the progressive evolution of everything in the universe. The transformation that must be achieved apparently is only possible while completely encapsulated by crystallized matter, like a child in a womb. For the so...

The Black Man Is God And Other Teachings Of The 5 Percent Nation

-
Image
The 5 Percent Nation, also known as the Nation of Gods and Earths teach that the Black man is GOD, ALLAH, and supreme. But is this the truth? If the Black man is God, how do you explain his position in the world today? The 5 Percent Nation Teach That The Black Man Is The Original Man For decades, the 5 Percent Nation taught that the Black man is the Original man. Those who didn’t understand their message dismissed the claim as pseudoscience. But today, all scientific evidence points to Africa as the cradle of humankind. Anthropologists confirm that there is indeed a  genetic “Adam”  – the first human man described in the Bible – who came out of Africa as far back as 300,000 years ago. Scientists came to this conclusion by tracing the Y chromosomes of hundreds of thousands of men from around the world. Their findings also revealed that the first “human” was a woman. “You can ultimately trace every female lineage back to a single Mitochondrial Eve who li...
