Biggest full moon of 2012 due Sat 5th May – JTPro Center (Union Island) the Place to Be

(FOXNEWS.com) Skywatchers take note: The biggest full moon of the year is due to arrive this weekend. RG Note: (Don’t forget the catch the action at the JTPro Center aka Union Island Kite School, Bungalo Union Island for this Full Moon Party) http://www.facebook.com/jtprocenter

The moon will officially become full Saturday (May 5) at 11:35 p.m. EDT. And because this month’s full moon coincides with the moon’s perigee — its closest approach to Earth — it will also be the year’s biggest.

The moon will swing in 221,802 miles (356,955 kilometers) from our planet, offering skywatchers a spectacular view of an extra-big, extra-bright moon, nicknamed a supermoon.

And not only does the moon’s perigee coincide with full moon this month, but this perigee will be the nearest to Earth of any this year, as the distance of the moon’s close approach varies by about 3 percent, according to meteorologist Joe Rao, SPACE.com’s skywatching columnist. This happens because the moon’s orbit is not perfectly circular.

This month’s full moon is due to be about 16 percent brighter than average. In contrast, later this year on Nov. 28, the full moon will coincide with apogee, the moon’s farthest approach, offering a particularly small and dim full moon.

Though the unusual appearance of this month’s full moon may be surprising to some, there’s no reason for alarm, scientists warn. The slight distance difference isn’t enough to cause any earthquakes or extreme tidal effects, experts say.

However, the normal tides around the world will be particularly high and low. At perigee, the moon will exert about 42 percent more tidal force than it will during its next apogee two weeks later, Rao said.

The last supermoon occurred in March 2011.

To view this weekend’s supermoon to best effect, look for it just after it rises or before it sets, when it is close to the horizon. There, you can catch a view of the moon behind buildings or trees, an effect which produces an optical illusion, making the moon seem even larger than it really is.

Fine Art – Marslyn V Lewis

Fine Art – Marslyn V Lewis

 

A fine work of art, with lines so well carved and astutely defined.

Exudes vigour, power, and much strength.

Your physical being constantly mesmerises, captivates and sets each sleeping nerve within my body in a rhythmic motion.

Your voice arrests and stirs the curiosity of everything under its sound, yet it remains gentle and calm.

Our coming together has provoked an irresistible and pulsating flow of untouched, unexpressed chemistry, that registers instantaneous vivid mental and emotional impressions, that apprehends every thought in my mind, leaving me totally immersed in an eclectic spell that cannot be explained by words.

 

Your eye emanates beauty in all its marvellous splendour…

And your lips so meticulous sculpted, soft to the touch and sweet to the taste

Each glance stimulates and arouse unquenchable desires deep within

With a face of an angel, and a heart of a lion, each gaze caused my imagination to go untamed, caught in an emotional fury trying to unravel, explain and interpret the artist handiwork, whose story has no end, remains untold, and constantly captivates the soul and penetrates at an unexplained depth

This is truly a breathtaking, amazingly beautiful work of art, one that has left a lasting impression in my mind.

True stunning, powerful, strong, ambitious, determine, persistent, wild and free is My prized piece of art, the finest I’ve ever seen

True Intimacy – By Marslyn Lewis

TRUE INTIMACY – By Marslyn Lewis

 

My soul hungers and yearns for you; I can’t seem to find rest

Like a young child thirst the milk of its mothers breast

Each day thoughts of you stir a fire deep within

And constantly stimulates the core of my being

 

My heart pants each moment am awake and is left wanting more and more of you

As I try to come to grips with this thing called love i feel for you

I dream of your sweet kisses and your gentle touch so warm so real so true

A new depth of passion is ignited in me daily

As I reminisce on all the precious moments you’ve spent with me

 

A miracle I have found when I laid eyes on you

one late Saturday, as night turned into day under the umbrella of the morning dew

The moment that changed my life forever, and left me completely hypnotised in

a world of uncompromised romance

I’m forever Intrigued by your sweetness which has swept me into a deep trance
