Spreadsheets you say? Oh no.

Yes, it's a handy way to rapidly do lots of math and can easily be shared with others. The calculations are correct; they agree with both modern observations as well as historic observations from decades ago. You're free to examine them for yourself:

The phenomenon is not new nor is it unexpected.

Well thanks for your hard work. And remember which forum this was posted to.

If you feel my replies are inappropriate you are free to report them to the mods. I believe in sharing the facts, no matter who it offends.

I'm not offended. I don't know how you could construe that from my comments.

I just don't wish to get into an argument over this, that's why I posted to this forum and not another one.

My only intent was to get people to look up and notice things for themselves, whether things are off or not. I've already spoken my comments and you've spoken yours. they're there for others to read and decide. Battling back and forth on it again and again is fruitless.

Didn't say you were, no need to get defensive. I'm just trying to demonstrate that it's important not only to look up, but to also study how to calculate and determine what "normal" is.

We already understand all that.

And I'm not being defensive, don't know how you could construe that either.

It doesn't appear that way to me, but that's just my opinion. We're entitled to our own opinions, not our own facts though.

Nice. Lots of supermoons lately. When something becomes more common, doesn't it lose its 'super' status?

Supermoons are not really common, just usually yearly


Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org...

"The most recent occurrence was on June 23, 2013, as the closest and largest full moon of the year and the Moon’s closest encounter with Earth for all of 2013. It will not be so close again until August 10, 2014"

Got another year before we have another close to us

I guess, but three this year just in the span of a few months.

I remember last year there were about three.
