On March 19 the Earth will be so close to the moon has not been since 1992. When you reach near the peak, the moon will be at a distance of only 356 578 km of land compared with the 384, 403 km habitual distance.
But it seems that already have appeared pessimistic, saying that such an alignment will cause significant climate changes in the world or even earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, according to Daily Mail . Similar events were held in 1955, 1974, 1992 and 2005, all years with extreme weather events. Tsunami that killed thousands in Indonesia has spent close to two weeks before the month in 2005. And in 1974, Christmas Day, Cyclone Tracy devastated the city of Darwin in Australia. But Peter Wheeler , the International Radio Astronomy Center , is skeptical regarding these apocalyptic scenarios. "There will be earthquakes and volcanic eruptions on Earth unless they are meant to happen anyway. Earth would only get a higher flow and a lower ebb, but nothing extraordinary," he said.
