Full

moon fear for Mayon volcano

Mayon is the most

active volcano in the Philippines

 

 

 

Scientists in the Philippines have warned that

Wednesday's full moon could spark a major eruption of the Mount

Mayon volcano.

Experts say Mount Mayon, the most active

volcano in the Philippines, could erupt at any time.

But the full moon's gravitational pull

could trigger the eruption, they say.

A full moon coincided with at least three of Mayon's 47 eruptions,

including the two most recent ones in 2000 and 2001.

The volcano has been spewing lava and flaming

rocks the size of cars in a quiet but steady eruption since last month.

It does not seem to erupt

during the next full moon.
