The October 2025 supermoon sparks global online debates: could its close proximity influence earthquakes, storms, or other natural disasters?

Supermoon Defined

A supermoon occurs when the full Moon is nearest Earth, appearing brighter and larger than usual, captivating skywatchers globally.

Myths & Fears

Historical events, like the 2011 Japan tsunami, fueled beliefs that supermoons can trigger earthquakes or calamities.

Scientific Facts

NASA and other experts clarify there’s no evidence linking supermoons to heightened earthquake or natural disaster risks.

Gravity Effects

While supermoons influence tides slightly, their gravitational pull is far too weak to trigger earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.

Media Influence
