Perigee "Super Moon" On May 5-6 Perigee "Super Moon" On May 5-6 May 2, 2012: The full Moon has a reputation for trouble. It raises high tides, it makes dogs howl, it wakes you up in the middle of the night with beams of moonlight stealing through drapes. The scientific term for the phenomenon is "perigee moon." Such is the case on May 5th at 11:34 pm Eastern Daylight Time1 when the Moon reaches perigee. Okay, the Moon is 14% bigger than usual, but can you really tell the difference?

The majority of modern studies, however, show no correlation between the phase of the Moon and the incidence of crime, sickness, or human behavior. It's true that a perigee full Moon brings with it extra-high "perigean tides," but according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration this is nothing to worry about. Super perigee Moons are actually fairly common. Author:Dr.
