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.

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 3 Holy children • The

Vatican In Shock As 1,500-Year-Old Bible Claims Jesus Wasn’t Crucified

-
Image
An approximately 1,500-2,000-year-old Bible found in Turkey has left the Vatican in shock because it allegedly confirms that Jesus Christ wasn’t crucified as has come to be widely believed. The Bible, which was discovered in 2000 and kept in secret in Ankara’s Ethnography Museum, contains the gospel of Jesus’ disciple Barnabas. The gospel claims that Christ was  neither crucified  nor was he God’s son. Instead, it says he was just a prophet. The book also refers to Apostle Paul as “The Impostor” and further claims that Christ ascended back to heaven alive, with Judas Iscariot being crucified in his place. The now controversial book was recovered during an operation in the Mediterranean-area as authorities went against a gang that smuggles antiquities and illegal explosives, says a report by The National Turk. The old book is currently valued at a whopping 40 million Turkish Liras, approximately $28 million. Experts and religious bodies have examined the book and agree t

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

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.

“Jesus Not Coming Back By The Looks Of It” Admits Vatican

-

A SPOKESPERSON for the Vatican has officially announced today that the second coming of Jesus, the only son of the God, may not happen now after all , but urged followers to still continue with their faith, regardless of the news. Cardinal Giorgio Salvadore told WWN that this years 1,981st anniversary is to be the Vatican’s last in regards to waiting for the Lord to return to Earth. “We just feel Jesus is not coming back by the looks of it.” he said. “It’s been ages like. He’s probably flat out doing other really good things for people somewhere else.” Nearly two thousand years ago, Jesus promised his disciples that he would come again in chapter John 14:1-3 of the bible: “There are many homes up where my Father lives, and I am going to prepare them for your coming. When everything is ready, then I will come and get you, so that you can always be with Me where I am. If this weren’t so, I would tell you plainly” The Vatican defended Jesus’ broken promise, claiming “he

Marijuana can cure homosexuality according to new study

Marijuana cures homosexuality A scientist in Florida is claiming that his recent concluded study has proven that  marijuana  has the potential of curing homosexuality, especially among lesbians. Scientist, Dr. Michael Berger, from Tampa, said he conducted his study over a two year period and is expecting the study to be published in the scientific journal later this year. According to Dr. Berger, the potent aphrodisiac in marijuana not only aroused the participants in the study but in most cases their arousals were for the opposite sex, regardless if the participant checked heterosexual or homosexual. In one study, Dr. Berger took 30 female spring breakers to Key West, 15 of whom were heterosexuals and the other 15 were lesbians. All 30 had lunch in their hotel rooms, smoke a marijuana joint and then went walking on one of the sexiest Key West beaches. 14 of the heterosexuals felt in the mood to have sex during their walk. All 15 of the lesbians were in the mood for sex but

Eye of Horus Meaning

-
Image
Certain mythological struggles between the god Horus and his uncle Seth made the eye of Horus symbolize the whole, that which has returned to its being and has been completed. The  ancient Egyptians  called it Udjat, wadjet or wedjat. This narration tells how Horus had to fight fiercely with his uncle Seth to avenge the death of his father Osiris. In the battle Horus lost his left eye, which was damaged or stolen by Seth, having to be replaced by the Udjat. Eye of Horus meaning: Horus’s left eye was related to the Moon, while his right eye was identified with the sun. The connection point between the Udjat and the Moon is due to a version of the myth that tells that the injured eye had to be healed and rebuilt by the  god  Thoth. The healing process was perceived in nature through the lunar phases, that is, the Moon modified its appearance when it was in a trance of healing and the Full Moon appeared when the Eye of Horus was completely healed. Eye of Horus spiri

The Illuminati

The Illuminati There are three main factions of the Illuminati: Rothschilds faction, Rockefeller faction, and the Jesuit faction. Rothschilds control Europe, Canada and the U.S. Democratic Party, the Rockefellers control the U.S., especially the Republicans, and the Middle East, while the Jesuits are in charge for the rest of the world. In the beginning, not to be mistake, all three factions operate in coordination. Rothschilds, the Jews who financed Hitler, are ideologically inclined left, they support atheism, the Gnostics. Soros is their pawn. There is nothing wrong with the left ideas, but let's look at Italian Prime Minister Monti and former Greek Prime Minister Papademos. Or another quasi-leftist, French President Hollande. Everyone are Bilderbergers, and everyone are resigned vassals of the Rothschilds. How to identify vassals? They push for the privatization of everything that normal society would never privatize; they are in favor for austerity measures, for the ab
