Ya know, I think I actually like the term 'supermoon' now Isaac Send a noteboard - 06/05/2012 09:47:15 PM
... I would say that supermoon is the common astronomy term for an astronomical occurrence, not an astrology term nor an astrological occurrence, and jh is just trolling you.

EDIT - I've read Isaac's reply above concerning the astrological origin of the term, but it's not being used in an astrological context here, so ... ~shrug~


I dug around a bit more and decided to look up the coin-termer's own stuff, and surprisingly it is a pretty good read, minus the actual astrology aspect, he does a good job IMO explaining it in layman's terms, and does I think merit it's own term and I really can't think of anything that's not either inaccurate or a horrible mouthful, so why not?

They're not very common, depending on how you define one Isaac - 06/05/2012 05:57:25 PM 422 Views
I can see why the news chose "supermoon" over Syzygy LadyLorraine - 06/05/2012 07:24:15 PM 388 Views
Well it would be a 'Perigee-Syzygy', which is admittedly more of a mouthful Isaac - 06/05/2012 07:58:26 PM 421 Views
do y'all try to make everything rhyme? LadyLorraine - 06/05/2012 08:31:46 PM 370 Views
No, but that probably would be a good idea Isaac - 06/05/2012 09:58:52 PM 271 Views
lol he's not TOO bad. and he's not as much into the "astronomy" as the "physics" LadyLorraine - 06/05/2012 10:23:30 PM 440 Views

I'm sorry if my use of the astrological term bothers you. I didn't realize it came from there. LadyLorraine - 06/05/2012 07:21:41 PM 401 Views
