There is no reason for anybody to dread the largest full moon of 2013, known as the “supermoon,” a NASA scientist says.
On Sunday (June 23), the moon will reach perigee — the closest point to Earth in the rocky satellite’s orbit around the planet. Although some people have suggested that the supermoon might drive people crazy, cause natural disasters and wreak havoc on the tides, there is scant evidence in support of those claims, NASA assures.
NASA planetary geologist Noah Petro said today (June 21) that while the tides might be slightly higher because of the moon’s close approach, it won’t make a noticeable difference for the average observer. The only thing that humans might experience this weekend is a good lunar show. [Amazing Supermoon Photos of 2012]
“There should be no impact on anybody on the Earth,” Petro said during a series of televised interviews on NASA TV. “There should be nothing unusual except maybe for more people staring up at the moon, which should be a wonderful thing.”
You can watch a live webcast of the supermoon on SPACE.com on Sunday beginning at 9 p.m. EDT (0100 June 24 GMT), courtesy of the Slooh Space Camera, an online skywatching website (http://www.slooh.com).
To skywatchers that have been monitoring the moon recently, Earth’s lunar neighbor could look slightly larger and brighter this weekend, but it might be difficult for the average observer to notice a difference in this full moon and the 11 other full moons this year, Petro said.
“It’s a subtle difference,” Petro said. “It really is a reward for people that are looking at the moon quite regularly.” Still, Petro said, everybody should step outside to see the supermoon, weather permitting.
The moon will reach its peak fullness on Sunday at 7:32 a.m. EDT (1132 GMT). About half an hour before that, the moon will reach perigee, making it appear about 12 percent closer to the Earth than the full moon will be at apogee — the farthest point in the satellite’s orbit — on Jan. 16 of next year.
At its closest approach on Sunday, the moon will be about 221,824 miles (356,991 kilometers) from Earth. On average, the moon is about 238,900 miles (384,402 kilometers) from the Earth.
The best time to catch the lunar wonder is just after sunset on Saturday night, but anytime this weekend will do, Petro said. Simply walk outside and look to the east today, Saturday or Sunday to catch the cosmic show.
Editor’s note: If you have snap an amazing photo of the Sunday Supermoon and you’d like to share it for a possible story or image gallery on SPACE.com, please send images and comments, including equipment used, to managing editor Tariq Malik at spacephotos@space.com.

Every year we have our inspection. This does not mean we should clean then and fail then wait for re-inspection. This should be done all the time not once a year. Your wasting Larry’s time (trust me he would rather be working on something more important like keeping the building safe from real issues.) So here are some tips.
Clutter is one of your biggest enemy’s. You no longer live in a 3 bedroom house so try not to fit that into your domicile. If you have not thought of it in 6 months you probably don’t need it. Throw it away.
Here is a great tip: Consider this you do have a finite space in a room. If you bring something home take something out. It’s not rocket science.
Step 6: Scrub
Use a scrub brush or nonscratch abrasive pad to scrub every square inch of the tub and tiles. Both housekeeping experts swear by Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, especially for hard-to-remove gray rings inside the tub.
Step 7: Rinse
This is the most important step, in Jenny’s opinion. The chemicals in cleansers are designed to attract soil and particles, she points out. If you don’t rinse after spraying your cleanser, dirt is going to stick to it and build up and “be even more troublesome.”
Step 8: Dry
Use clean, dry cotton cloths or rags to thoroughly dry all surfaces. Jenny recommends using color-coded cloths for cleaning ? blue for glass and mirrored surfaces, yellow for the toilet, and pink for tub and sinks. That way, you never make the mistake of wiping off the sink with a cloth that was used to dry the toilet.
Step 9: Glass and mirrors
Spray the mirror and other glass with a glass cleanser and wipe dry.
Step 10: Floors
Exit out of the bathroom by rinsing, wiping and drying the floor.
Once or twice a year, your floor will need a deep scrubbing, especially if it has deep grooves or designs.
After years of wear and/or improper cleaning, your linoleum may loose its shine. If your linoleum appears dull or dingy, you may want to refinish it.
* Please note that ammonia can be a dangerous substance and should never be mixed with any other cleaners.
**You can find a good liquid floor wax for your linoleum floor at most janitorial supply stores, or at janitorial supply websites.
For Regular Non-Self-Cleaning Ovens
Each time the oven is cooled off, wipe up any spills with a hot, wet cloth. If you do this each time, food will not build up or burn onto the oven surfaces. Some people prefer to cover the bottom of the oven with aluminum foil, but you’ll need to make sure that no vents are blocked if you choose this prevention trick. For really stubborn stains or buildup, you’ll need an oven cleaner and a plastic scrubbing pad or brush. Make sure you use good ventilation when using an oven cleaner.
Baking soda can be used on regular non-self-cleaning ovens as a gentle abrasive that also soaks up grease and oily stains.
From the Art of Manliness website, instructions for “How to Make a Bed You Can Bounce a Quarter Off Of.” I have to say that I hate sleeping under tightly tucked sheets (especially at the bottom! The feet must be free to poke out and catch a breeze when the internal temperature spikes!), but there’s something perversely aesthetically appealing about the overall kentuckyness of a really well-made bed. The secret, apparently, is in the hospital corners.
Starting at the foot of the bed, tuck the end of the sheet between the mattress and box springs. Don’t just bunch the sheet between the mattress and the box springs, rather ensure that the sheet lays smoothly between the two.
Go to the head of the bed and pull the other end of the sheet taut. Tuck the sheet under the mattress as you did at the foot of the bed.
Go back to the foot of the bed and pick a corner to make your first hospital corner. Grab the sheet draping from the side about 16 inches from the foot of the bed (Diagram A).
Place one finger on top of the corner, lifting the sheet with the other hand (Diagram B).
Tuck lower drape under the mattress (Diagram C).
Hold the corner in place and bring the sheet over. You want the fold on the top sheet to form a 45-degree angle. That’s standard for the Army (Diagram D).
Tuck the rest of the side of the sheet under the mattress, working your way to the head of the bed (Diagram E). Repeat on all four corners of the bed. As you tuck, take your hand and smooth out any wrinkles that may form in the sheet on the top of the bed.
