Moonrise - Just as it was Built to Be

In each case, these celestial unfoldings occur exactly as they have been built (via the evolution of The Universe since The Beginning) to Unfold. Which is all that the readers of ConserveLiberty and the rest of All That Is ever experiences.
All That Happens happens exactly as it was built to Be. Ever.
And for the sentient here on Earth, it can be wonderful to behold, if one has been built to behold it as wonderful.
If you haven't already, consider watching the 3' video nearby. It is among one of those things that some of us live for, and may not recall that until we "see" it. In Plain Sight.
For the astronomy minded among us, the term for a Supermoon event is actually a description of what is going on from a celestial mechanics perspective - Perigee-syzygy. Perigee (closest approach in an orbit). Sysygy (the straight-line alignment of three celestial bodies, in this case the Sun, Earth and Moon). In this case, the alignment is not so straight as to give us a total lunar eclipse.
The moon circles the Earth in an elliptical orbit. At perigee on Dec 3rd, the moon is separated from the Earth (center to center) by 222,137 miles. On Jan 1st, it will be a little closer - 221,559 miles (center to center).

With regard to the Supermoon, ConserveLiberty actually has nothing more to say. What more can be said? You have been built to enjoy the Supermoon, and it and the Earth and the Sun have been built to orbit as they do. Enjoy!
Conserve Liberty. Gratefully.
