I to, would appreciate a full article rather than a video. Some Of us live where the video reception is poor to say the least, or sometimes we are not able to view it at all. Please continue to write the articles and make then printable.
We really enjoy all of the information.
Regards, Linda

There is a link directly to the article on this page as well. Some of our readers do like videos.  To those worried about a data plan, our videos do not start automatically like you might find on some web sites. (Please let us know otherwise!)

THe lead in for this did not say 'watch this vid' it acted as if it were an article. Articles are written. I came here expecting to read an article. If it had told me on the front page it was a vid I would have never clicked. I don't like that. I prefer to read my info. I have to turn my vol on etc and then turn it off rather than come here get my info and leave. Please keep this in mind.

I do not understand why you didn't mention that the moon will be closest to the earth in 18 years. And how that will affect our planet

Thanks for commenting. This video is about the traditional name of the March moon, The Full Worm Moon, as well as some other helpful and interesting information about the Moon.
