Isn't it funny and optically deceptive what the atmosphere can do to disproportionately represent objects at near or far distance in space? Like the moon, Jupiter, and the First Magnitude stars used frequently in nighttime celestial readings (Spica, Arcturus, and Procyon to name a few?) More than that did anyone see that stupid enlarging of Jupiter's image rising over a desert highway? God bless, no, Goddamn PHOTOSHOP and the tomfoolery people who know how to use get into. A charlatan and huckster, a snake-oil salesman or whatever you want to call them can sell a fool anything that superstition makes him believe. Wonder is one thing, and a Super-moon is maybe only 20% brighter and 15% larger in appearance but is still rarely larger in circumference than a dime held at arm's length. But get this, the guy who coined the term "Super-moon" Richard Nolle (1979) is nothing more than a garden variety ASTROLOGER, again, a charlatan and huckster of sorts, and a purveyor in hype. Super-moons are bunk, as is St. Elmo's Fire, but Ill bet a few of you ocean goers out there have seen the blue haze more than once and swear it to be real, dontcha? Wanna buy a bridge that spans the Hudson? I have one for sale, contact me if interested.
