The difference in the size of the moon this weekend.

[Just Bob]

Just so you can see how much bigger the Moon was this weekend in comparison with last October. Both shots were taken with the same camera and lens at the same location and focal length (300mm)

Pedigree moon.

Found out about it as I was driving home the other night from a mate, but when I looked at it, I'm sure I had seen bigger a few months back.

It's a perigee Moon by the way, as per the link you provided.

More from the link.

"For reasons not fully understood by astronomers or psychologists, low-hanging moons look unnaturally large when they beam through trees, buildings and other foreground objects," according to NASA.


I was just showing how much bigger the moon was this weekend (fact) in comparison. Yes, we have all seen the moon and sometimes it does look very big indeed.
